Pa. Supreme Court review sought to determine what types of negligence claims can be brought against the manufacturer of a dangerous prescription drug

Pa. Supreme Court review sought to determine what types of negligence claims can be brought against the manufacturer of a dangerous prescription drug: Yesterday, in the case captioned Lance v. Wyeth, both the plaintiff and the defendant filed petitions for allowance of appeal seeking Pa. Supreme Court review of different aspects of the ruling that the Pa. Superior Court issued in the case.

You can access the plaintiff's petition for allowance of appeal at this link. The defendant's petition for allowance of appeal can be accessed here.

My most recent earlier coverage of this case, in which I am serving as appellate counsel for plaintiff, appears at this link.

After the Superior Court issued its ruling, Wyeth filed an application for reargument en banc or reconsideration -- which the Superior Court denied on October 1, 2010 -- raising issues similar to those now being raised in Wyeth's petition for allowance of appeal to the Pa. Supreme Court. Plaintiff's answer in opposition to Wyeth's application for reargument can be accessed here.
