Hersh & Hersh, which has represented hundreds of Zyprexa users in suits against Eli Lilly, is one of the plaintiffs firms now taking on bigger clients against the pharmaceutical giant: states seeking money for footing the public health costs from the anti-psychotic drug. So far, seven states have filed Medicaid recovery suits against Eli Lilly over the way it promoted Zyprexa. Thanks to the drug's commercial success, any fine or cost recovery in state-government litigation could be sizable, attorneys say.

For years, Hersh & Hersh has represented hundreds of users of a top-selling anti-psychotic drug in suits against its maker. Now the firm is taking on bigger clients against the same company: states that say they’ve been footing the public health costs from the drug.
H&H’s first such client against pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co. is the state of New Mexico, which claims it spent about $18 million on Zyprexa-related medical expenses between 1999 and 2005.
