One of Morris Bart‘s most memorable cases was a class action lawsuit filed in 1999 over the diet pill popularly known as Fen-Phen, which was linked to heart valve malfunction. When the firm provided an EKG for one plaintiff, the test showed she needed surgery immediately. After the operation, her doctors told her she probably soon would have died of a massive heart attack without it. The client received a seven-figure settlement in the case, but Bart said she told him she was most grateful for that EKG.
“Today she’s alive, she has plenty of money to provide for the rest of her life, and (that case) was really a life-changing event,” he said.
With offices in Louisiana, southern Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, Morris Bart is one of the largest personal injury firms in the United States.
