Double Femur Fracture Lawsuit Joins Fosamax New Jersey Multicounty Litigation

A Fosamax lawsuit was filed on August 30, 2012, on behalf of a plaintiff who alleges she suffered two broken femurs as a result of long-term Fosamax use. The suit names Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., and Merck & Co. as the defendants.

Double Femur Fractures Not Uncommon

According to the suit, the plaintiff began taking Fosamax in October 2000. Thereafter, she suffered femur fractures in both legs, the most recent one in December 2010. She is alleging that the use of Fosamax caused the thigh breaks.

The lawsuit also claims that these injuries have caused the Plaintiff to suffer from adverse consequences and requires ongoing medical care. The suit is alleging severe mental and physical pain and suffering, permanent injuries and emotional distress, economic loss due to medical expenses, and related living expenses due to a new lifestyle.

This most recent filing comes on the heels of two double femur fracture lawsuits that were filed last summer: one by an Indiana woman, the other by a Maryland woman, both alleging that long-term Fosamax use is to blame for the fracture of both the left and right thigh bones on separate occasions.

This latest lawsuit joins the Fosamax multicounty litigation, currently pending in New Jersey Superior Court in Atlantic County before Judge Carol E. Higbee. “Multicounty litigation” refers to the group of mass tort cases that have been filed in New Jersey state court, as opposed to the federal “multidistrict litigation” that is ongoing in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
