What Is the U.S. Opioid Epidemic?

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the opioid epidemic is a crisis of drug addiction and overdose fueled by negligent pharmaceutical companies. In the late 1990s, companies like Mallinckrodt introduced a “miracle” pain-relief drug and reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to their opioid pain relievers. Thus, healthcare providers began to prescribe opioids at greater rates, which led to widespread misuse of the drugs.

In 2019, a total of 70,630 people died from drug overdose, 10.1 million people misused prescription opioids, and 1.6 million people were diagnosed with an opioid use disorder. Often, people were prescribed opioids, suffered crippling addictions, and turned to other drugs – like heroin and methamphetamine – to fulfil their cravings.

Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals was the largest generic opioid manufacturer in the United States.

Can I Sue Mallinckrodt?

Yes. Although most high-profile opioid lawsuits come from states and municipalities, individuals and families can also sue Mallinckrodt and other companies. If Mallinckrodt-brand opioids (Roxicodone™) ruined your life or led to a family member’s overdose, you can file a products liability lawsuit against the company.

To have a valid claim, however, you will need to prove that you were prescribed Roxicodone™ or another Mallinckrodt opioid product and document your experience of addiction. If your loved one overdosed on Mallinckrodt products, you will need to show how the opioids caused their death.

Gathering this information may be painful, but a successful settlement or verdict can help you account for medical bills, addiction treatment, pain and suffering, missed wages, and more.
