Belviq lawyers sought an MDL class action lawsuit for lawsuits that had been filed in New York, Louisiana, and New Jersey. The idea was to consolidate in Florida, New York, or New Jersey all federal court Belviq lawsuits in all 50 states. But the motion was denied by the MDL panel.
This is a mixed blessing for Belviq victims. Moving forward with individual Belviq lawsuits might be the fastest path to trial or to fair settlement amounts in these claims.
