Losing someone dear to an opioid overuse is heart-breaking. Addiction is a hard road to travel. The devastating part is that the manufacturers knew these medications were addicting and never warned the public. In fact, they lied and told consumers they were safe. As leading complex litigation attorneys, we understand what you are going through and what we must do to bring justice.
Recover Your Opioid Addiction Costs
Drug manufacturers lied to us about the addictive nature of opioids, and medical professionals prescribe them. Prescribing these drugs in high doses and for prolonged periods of time can lead to addiction and other devastating injuries. These include, among other adverse side effects, dependence, the craving to seek more drugs, use of other legal pain killers, use of other illegal drugs, and worst of all, overdose and death.
America’s opioid epidemic has affected, injured, or killed tens of thousands of Americans. It’s a national tragedy. All of these injuries could have been prevented. Drug manufacturers of opioid pain-killers have advertised their products as being less addictive than they actually are. Drug manufacturers have sometimes alleged that these drugs are safe to treat chronic pain. This marketing has lured scores of medication users and even doctors, into a false sense of security in using and prescribing such drugs.
