About The Opioid Lawsuit 

Opioid addiction has devastated countless lives over the years. A majority of families have been impacted to one extent or another by the crisis. Originally prescribed as a solution for chronic pain, opioids like OxyContin, Vicodin, and fentanyl have led to widespread addiction and deaths. Sadly, families have been torn apart by addiction, overdoses, and death from opioids.

 

Pharmaceutical companies and distributors are now being held accountable for their role in fueling this crisis. Many of these companies have been accused of downplaying the risks of addiction. Lawsuits allege that they have aggressively marketed opioids as safe for young and old alike. In fact, they have failed to even try to control the distribution of the drug in many cases. 

 

If you or a loved one has been impacted by opioid addiction and experienced related health problems, you may be eligible to join an opioid lawsuit. This is your chance to seek justice and potential compensation for the harm caused by these companies.

 

Who Qualifies for the Opioid Lawsuit?

To participate in the opioid lawsuit, you must meet criteria such as the following:

  • Show that you or a loved one were prescribed opioids and used them for pain management or other medical conditions.
  • Provide documentation that links opioid use to your or a loved one's health problems, such as addiction, overdose, or other related conditions.
  • Demonstrate the personal, financial, or emotional impact that opioid addiction has caused, such as medical bills, lost income, health problems, or death.  

 

If you meet these qualifications, you may be entitled to potential compensation. You should speak to a lawyer to determine eligibility. 

Which Companies Are Involved in the Opioid Lawsuit?

Several pharmaceutical companies and distributors have been named nationwide in a variety of opioid lawsuits. These companies are being sued for their role in producing, marketing, and distributing opioids despite knowing the risks and impact of addiction.

 

Many lawsuits claim that these companies failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about the addictive qualities of opioids. In some cases, they are accused of actually pushing doctors to prescribe opioids for longer periods than the patient needs the medications. 

 

If you or a loved one has suffered from opioid addiction, health-related problems, an overdose, or death, you could be eligible for compensation. Various factors impact eligibility and all cases are unique.

How Much Compensation Should You Expect in Your Opioid Lawsuit?

Determining a settlement amount in an opioid lawsuit is often challenging because it depends on a wide array of factors. 

 

The following things can impact a settlement

  • Severity of the opioid addiction
  • Health conditions caused by addiction
  • Strength of the provided evidence

At this time, opioid lawsuits remain in the process of litigation, but similar cases have had significant settlements awarded. 

 

Lawyers familiar with opioid lawsuits can provide potential settlement estimates based on your case and the extent of the harm you’ve suffered.

Members of a class action lawsuit usually have no obligations if the lawsuit is unsuccessful. Because of the contingency fee agreement, lawyers only get compensated when they prevail. Nonetheless, members of the class generally forfeit their ability to file separately for the same claim if the class action lawsuit is unsuccessful.

The length of when you’ll receive your settlement from the time you submit your inquiry can vary. Typically this process can take up to two years but in some cases, It may take longer.
