“Eliquis is one of those drugs that is rushed to the market in an attempt to be competitive in the highly competitive pharmaceutical business. As a result, it appears that short cuts were taken and the product was placed into commerce before a proper reversal agent was available. It seems to be common sense that a blood thinner would not be marketed and provided to consumers before a reversal agent would be available.” said Mathews. “I have had the good fortune to have yet another federal court just place their trust in me and my colleagues as we fight for the rights of consumers across the country. I am humbled and honored by my inclusion in this fine group of attorneys chosen by the court.”
As a member of the Plaintiff Steering Committee, Mathews will be working to prepare the cases for trial through conducting discovery, participating in depositions and presenting arguments to the court. Additionally, he will continue to work with clients in attempting to hold the defendants responsible for the alleged wrongdoing. At Gori Julian & Associates, Mathews is head of the firm’s Mass Tort and Class Action Litigation Departments.
