Investment Sector: IPO / Secondary Offering
Submitted 6 months ago by Michael , Director of Engineering at Auctoritas

Today the state appellate court overturned a multimillion dollar verdict involving Vioxx, ruling that there is not sufficient evidence linking it to a heart attack suffered by the plaintiff's spouse.
