Opioids
The opioid epidemic has placed the United States in an unprecedented public health crisis. As pharmaceutical companies dump billions of acute pain medications onto the US market, many Americans end up addicted or die from overdoses.
After numerous lawsuits against the companies that manufacture these highly addictive drugs, Purdue Pharma filed for a court-supervised reorganization, declaring its bankruptcy in 2019.
With the declaration of judicial recovery and bankruptcy by Purdue Pharma, a fund was created with the purpose of indemnifying hundreds of Americans who were harmed by the use of drugs, mainly OxyCodin.
Our law office has solid experience in redress lawsuits for victims of opioid addiction, in particular against Purdue Pharma LP, manufacturer of a substantial part of the drugs responsible for the opioid epidemic in the USA.
We represent over 150 clients.
