Evans
& Dixon is representing workers’ compensation insurers in nationwide
litigation seeking subrogation/recovery for the costs of opioid abuse. Evans & Dixon has a practice group devoted exclusively to subrogation that is now organizing a nationwide effort to recover, through subrogation, the millions of dollars paid by workers’ compensation carriers and self-insureds for opioid related expenditure.
Can I Join?
Evans & Dixon is looking to add plaintiffs to the Multi-District Litigation, now pending in the Northern District of Ohio to subrogate for opioid abuse related losses. The potential plaintiffs include any third party payers for opioid addiction related expenses:
· Workers’ compensation carriers
· Self-Insureds
· Third party administrators
· Excess carriers
What Are Opioid Abuse Related Expenses?
Workers’ compensation damages caused by Opioid abuse and addiction are widespread and far reaching, including:
· Prescription opioid costs - "over payment"
· Addiction treatments
· Costs related to absenteeism due to addiction in the workforce
· Second and compounded injuries
· Death benefits and burial costs
Who Is To Blame?
All eyes are on the big pharmaceutical companies for making false claims about the dangers of their drugs and the inappropriate use of opioids for chronic pain management. The lawsuits are currently being filed by states, counties and municipalities seeking reimbursement of opioid related expenditures.
The allegations in the lawsuits filed across the country allege the pharmaceutical companies encourage doctors to continue prescribing these drugs knowing they are highly addictive and grossly misrepresenting the risks of long term use.
