Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Pennsylvania

Phen-fen class action

In a class action, the court has to decide that it can go forward as a class action before getting to the stage of deciding who is in or out of the class. If the court certifies the action, then a notice is supposed to be sent to all the class members, giving them a choice whether to stay in or go out. Normally, everyone who fits the class definition is assumed to be in the class automatically. So you do not need your own attorney. However, if your damages are serious, it is not a good idea to sit back and wait because there can be problems with class action procedure, especially in a medical case such as this.

In any event, it is a good idea to make contact with the attorneys handling the class action so you will be sure of getting on the mailing list when and if notices are sent out.
