Joseph Dedvukaj: Michigan's Tireless Legal Defender for Singaporean Families Abroad
Detroit, Michigan In a world where global mobility is the norm, accidents do not respect borders. When Singaporean professionals, students, and families pursue opportunity abroad particularly in the United States their journey is often marked by success. But when tragedy strikes on foreign roads, they need more than legal guidance they need someone who understands the stakes. In Michigan, attorney Joseph Dedvukaj has become that rare figure: a relentless legal defender for the Singaporean-American community and a lifeline for immigrant families facing devastating car and truck accidents far from home. For over 30 years, Dedvukaj has fought for justice on behalf of injury victims earning a national reputation as one of America's most trusted personal injury attorneys. At the helm of The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C., he has recovered more than $300 million for clients, including multiple high-value settlements for international families navigating the complex U.S. legal system for the first time. A Local Advocate with a Global Mission What distinguishes Dedvukaj isn't just courtroom results. It's his culturally attuned, globally conscious approach to law. In recent years, as more Singaporean families settle or study in Michigan's economic and academic hubs, Dedvukaj has made it a personal mission to serve this tight-knit yet underserved population. From Ann Arbor to Oakland County, he has become a pillar of trust for Singaporean expatriates providing clarity, care, and powerful representation in cases involving commercial trucking accidents, pedestrian fatalities, distracted drivers, and catastrophic injuries. "He understood our fears immediately," said one Singaporean father whose daughter was injured in a freeway pileup. "He explained every step and made sure our family wasn't left behind in a system we didn't fully understand." Bridging the Legal Gap for Singaporeans in America Dedvukaj's success lies in his ability to bridge two worlds: the complexity of U.S. tort law and the unique challenges facing Asian expatriates. His firm provides multilingual services, culturally sensitive guidance, and 24/7 communication often cited as a lifeline by families halfway across the globe. In addition, he routinely partners with academic and community organizations to educate international students and foreign workers on their rights under Michigan's no-fault insurance laws a system that often confuses even U.S. citizens, let alone newcomers. "When you're injured in a foreign country, the legal system can feel like a second trauma," Dedvukaj explains. "We aim to remove fear from the process and restore our clients' confidence step by step." A Symbol of Justice Beyond Borders As the Singaporean diaspora continues to expand across North America, Dedvukaj's work represents more than legal expertise it represents dignity, empowerment, and protection for global citizens in crisis. Whether it's securing justice for a Singaporean researcher struck by a delivery truck or helping a family navigate wrongful death claims from thousands of miles away, Dedvukaj ensures that no one is left behind not by geography, not by insurance companies, and certainly not by the legal system. About Joseph Dedvukaj Joseph Dedvukaj is a nationally recognized car and truck accident attorney based in Michigan. He is the founder of The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C., and has secured over $300 million for clients. Known for his dedicated service to immigrant and international communities including Singaporean-American families Dedvukaj's work reflects a commitment to global justice, local compassion, and unyielding legal advocacy.

MERCK ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is Investigating Merck & Co., Inc. on Behalf of Long-Term Stockholders and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm
NEW YORK, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK) on behalf of long-term stockholders following a class action complaint that was filed against Merck on February 12, 2025 with a Class Period from February 3, 2022, to February 3, 2025. Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors of Merck have breached their fiduciary duties to the company. The Merck class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Merck's projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth of Gardasil while also minimizing risk from competition and drug approval development, such as China's approval to shift Gardasil to a 2-dose regimen; (ii) in truth, Merck's optimistic reports of growth, claims of successful consumer activation and education in China, overall ability to drive demand, and efforts to downplay the impact of competition on Gardasil fell short of the reality; and (iii) Merck's ability to push Gardasil in China had materially diminished. The Merck class action lawsuit further alleges that on July 30, 2024, Merck revealed that in the second quarter of 2024 'there was a significant step down in shipments from our distributor and commercialization partner, Zhifei, into the points of vaccination, compared with prior quarters, resulting in above normal inventory levels at Zhifei.' On this news, the price of Merck stock fell nearly 10%, according to the complaint. Then, on February 4, 2025, the Merck class action lawsuit alleges that Merck published its fourth quarter fiscal year 2024 results, disclosing that 'GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 Sales Declined 3% to $8.6 Billion; Excluding the Impact of Foreign Exchange, Sales Declined 2%" 'primarily due to lower demand in China, partially offset by higher demand in most international regions, particularly in Japan.' On this news, the price of Merck stock fell more than 9%, according to the complaint. If you are a long-term stockholder of Merck, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], by telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.
