Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Posted on by

what is personal injuryWrongful death lawsuit: Eli Lilly and Co. has settled a long-running wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of a South Dakota boy who committed suicide on Christmas Eve 2004, four weeks after taking the antidepressant Cymbalta.

The settlement comes a month before a jury trial was set to begin in a South Dakota federal court.

Terms  weren’t disclosed in court filings. An order filed last week by a magistrate judge  said  the settlement involved setting up a trust fund bearing the name of the 16-year-old  boy, Peter Schilf. The order also refers to “payment by Lilly of the agreed confidential amount.”

Lilly’s marketing partner for Cymbalta, Quintiles Transnational of Durham, N.C., is a co-defendant in the case. The case will be dismissed “once the (settlement) funds have been distributed,” the order said.

Cymbalta, Lilly’s top-selling drug, was approved for use in the United States in 2004 for depression and, later, for other conditions. It had sales of $5 billion last year.

The lawsuit charged that Lilly and Quintiles failed to adequately warn patients  that the drug could cause suicidal inclinations in some users. The lawsuit also said that Lilly didn’t tell doctors about the February 2004 case of a 19-year-old student  who committed suicide by hanging  while taking part in a Lilly-sponsored patient trial of Cymbalta for urinary incontinence.

Schilf was prescribed the drug in November 2004 and killed himself by a self-inflicted gunshot a month later,  the lawsuit said. A Food and Drug Administration-recommended black-box warning about suicidality wasn’t added to Cymbalta’s label until 2005, the lawsuit said.

The case was originally filed in state court in South Dakota and moved to federal court in early 2007.

1Million Settlement: Travon Martin Wrongful Death Shooting

law-firm-blog-headlines1Million Settlement: Travon Martin Wrongful Death Shooting: The parents of Trayvon Martin reportedly have received more than $1 million in a wrongful death claim brought against the homeowners association in the gated community where neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman fatally shot their son on Feb. 26, 2012.

According to sources the settlement is more than $1 million, but attorney would not divulge the exact amount, saying in an interview when asked about the payout. the parties have agreed to keep the monetary total settled upon confidential.

Parents Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton had filed suit last August against Twin Peaks, the gated community in Sanford, Fla. where 17-year-old unarmed Martin was killed while walking to his dad’s girlfriend’s home after visiting the local 7-Eleven to buy some Skittles and iced tea.

The residential townhouse division was held liable because it touted killer George Zimmerman as the captain of the neighborhood watch and the go-to man residents should contact if they had any problems.

The Twin Peaks Neighborhood Watch newsletter first mandated to first call the police, then to “please contact our captain, George Zimmerman–so he can be aware and help address the issue with other residents.”

Defendant George Zimmerman, 27, now charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin, claimed he killed the teen in self-defense and was sent home by police on the night of the shooting.
