Opiates

Have You Or Your Family Been Affected By The Opioid Epidemic?

Back in 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reported that an estimated two million Americans abused or were dependent on prescription painkillers, and more than 350,000 required emergency medical treatment for overdoses and misuse of the drugs. Around 15,000 people were killed by overdoses in that year alone, and recent trends indicate that these figures show no signs of getting better.

The Rising Costs Of Care

Medical care providers, whether they are financed at the state, county, city, municipal, or private level, are responsible for providing patients with the care and medical treatment they require. However, the cost of this care is often out of reach for patients, even those who have access to Medicare or Medicaid to cover a portion of the costs. Hospitals cover the rest of the costs, but this is not a financial burden they should be carrying on their own. Our opiate lawyers are currently investigating the financial responsibility of the manufacturers of these drugs, and how their actions helped cause millions of people to become addicted to their products.

The Legal Responsibility Of Big Pharma

Attorney generals across the nation, including Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson, are putting together a multi-state investigation into the role that pharmaceutical companies played in the creation and perpetuation of this health crisis. These officials are focusing on the aggressive marketing campaigns used to convince doctors and hospitals to prescribe painkillers to their patients and the overall lack of focus placed on the highly addictive nature of opiates.
