GM Crash & $PURN -- Stiffing LI Girls Over Seat-Belt Horror

They ain't too proud to beg for billions, but when it comes to compensating two Long Island girls critically injured in a horrific head-on crash, General Motors officials are telling the kids' family to settle for "pennies" -- or get nothing at all when the auto giant goes belly up, court papers show.

The girls -- one of whom is now a quadriplegic -- likely face a lifetime of medical bills.

GM's lawyers "threatened" the girls' lawyers, saying they should accept a "considerably significant reduction" in any potential settlement "lest their claims be wiped out in a bankruptcy reorganization," according to papers filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court by Stanley Sanders, lawyer for one of the children.

"Their claims will either be wiped out in their entirety, or at best they will be offered [and have no alternative but to accept] pennies on the dollar.

"As such, these two catastrophically injured young girls will go uncompensated for their devastating injuries."

Sanders asked the court to give their case "special preference" and speed the process so it can be decided by trial -- or settled -- before GM goes bankrupt.

"The least GM could do as it takes $15 billion dollars from the American public is to settle these cases fairly," he said.

Emma Coll and her cousin Amanda Dinnigan suffered horrific injuries when the family's GMC Envoy crashed into a tree in Smithtown, Suffolk County, in February 2007.

The girls, then ages 9 and 8, were in the third row of seats wearing seat belts and shoulder restraints. But the adult-size harnesses snapped tight on the girls' necks in the 42 mph head-on crash.

Emma, whose neck was broken, has "plates and screws all over" and will probably need a series of surgeries as she grows, Sanders said. Amanda, he said, is paralyzed and needs a breathing tube to survive.

Sanders, who represents Emma, charged in the initial lawsuit that the restraint system was inadequate for children under 12, who can "submarine" in their seats on sudden impact because the shoulder harnesses are too high to restrain them.

"GM knew about the danger of the seat belts but made a financial decision to install them, figuring it's cheaper to defend [in court] than to correct," Sanders said. "Now they don't even want to do that."

GM, which reached a deal with the United Auto Workers last Thursday, has to have a restructuring plan in place by June 1 or face bankruptcy.

Bondholders have until tomorrow to accept a 10 percent stake in the automaker in exchange for retiring the debt.

Neither GM nor their lawyer returned a call for comment.

Esophageal Cancer in Patients Taking Oral Bisphosphonates

December 31, 2008 (updated January 12, 2009, with FDA comments) -- Cases of esophageal cancer in patients who had been taking oral bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis have been reported by an official from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the January 1 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

"We are not able to determine if oral bisphosphonates cause or contribute to esophageal cancer without a study that collects information on known risk factors for esophageal cancer while also taking into account the oral bisphosphonate use," the author, Diane Wysowski, PhD, epidemiologist in the Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, FDA, commented to Medscape Oncology. She suggested that additional studies of this issue should be carried out.

Twenty-three cases (of which 8 were fatal) have been reported in the United States, all of them in association with alendronate (Fosamax, Merck), which was cited as the suspect drug in 21 cases and as a concomitant drug in 2 cases. These reports were received by the FDA in the 12-year period between October 1995 (when alendronate was launched in the United States) and mid-May 2008. No reports were received about esophageal cancer and any of the other oral bisphosphonate products.

A further 31 cases (6 fatal) have reported in Europe and Japan, with alendronate as the suspected drug in 21 cases. Of the remainder, 6 cases were associated with risedronate (Actonel, Procter & Gamble/Sanofi-Aventis), ibandronate (Boniva, Roche/GlaxoSmithKline), etidronate (Didronel, Procter & Gamble), or a combination of these, and 4 cases cited bisphosphonates as concomitant drugs.

The median time from drug exposure to diagnosis was 2.1 years for patients from the United States and 1.3 years for the patients from Europe and Japan. "We do not know when the cells in these esophageal cancer cases were transformed from being normal to being cancerous," Dr. Wysowski told Medscape Oncology. "If the drugs play a role in carcinogenesis, the time frames from drug exposure to diagnosis seem more consistent with the drugs acting as tumor promoters, as opposed to tumor initiators. However, whether this is the case is not known."

"It is possible that the oral bisphosphonate drugs that are known to have esophageal effects could have cause increased surveillance for cancer; however, this seems unlikely," Dr. Wysowski said. "For cases where information was available, patients developed esophageal symptoms and were diagnosed with esophageal cancer shortly thereafter. There was no mention in the reports of periodic monitoring or any special surveillance procedures."

"Also, it is possible that the bisphosphonate drugs may have played a role in detecting a cancer that was pre-existing," she added. "This cannot be ruled out using the reports submitted to the FDA."

In the letter by Dr. Wysowski, she notes that 4 of the patients had Barrett's esophagus, which is a precursor of esophageal adenocarcinoma. "Physicians should avoid prescribing oral bisphosphonates to patients with Barrett's esophagus," she writes.

Dr. Wysowski also points out that esophagitis has been associated with oral bisphosphonates, usually when the drugs are not taken according to directions. "Crystalline material similar to ground alendronate tablets has been found in patients with erosive esophagitis, and persistent mucosal abnormalities have been noted in some of these patients, suggesting a potential for carcinogenic effects," she writes.

Merck said in a statement that data from its clinical trials and postmarketing reports do not suggest any association between alendronate and esophageal cancer. The company pointed out that alendronate has been marketed for 13 years, during which time more than 150 million prescriptions have been written in the United States alone. Merck also noted that its clinical database includes more than 17,000 patients, of whom about 3000 osteoporosis patients took alendronate for 3 to 5 years and about 800 patients took alendronate for 8 to 10 years.

Dr. Wysowski said that "the benefits of prescribing a drug should always be considered along with its risks. The oral bisphosphonates are used primarily for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women to prevent fractures, and the drugs' benefits are well known.
