March 28, 2021 | Opioid Claims
The website www.Opioid-Settlement.com is headed by Frank Younes of the High & Younes Law firm, and Joseph Hall of the firm Joseph D Hall & Associates. High & Younes is a top firm in Nebraska and has a strong presence in the Midwest.
The firm deals with all types of matters and among them is mass tort litigation. Frank Younes is comfortable in both the court room and the boardroom, deftly and skillfully handling both the litigation and business side of law. His skill and experience have helped him to develop a firm with a strong market share in the Midwest.
Joseph Hall operates a smaller firm who works, when dealing with opioid claims, in partnership with Younes in order to handle the significant demands that come from filing and amending the large number of legal claims that have been the by-product of the opioid crisis. The amount of damage in this country done by legal opioid products, and the number of people who have been left on their own to struggle, drives both attorneys to take on such a difficult and demanding task.
Frank Younes has stated that “I just want people to receive what they deserve after having their lives destroyed by these products. Really when it comes down to it, I wish I could take them back to before they ever used that first dose and simply show them the final outcome. But since that is not an option, I am trying to provide them with the next best thing, proper compensation for the living hell they have been forced to endure.”
Both Frank Younes and Joseph Hall have a significant amount of experience in bankruptcy claim matters that focus on the fallout and damage from legally prescribed opioids. In 2020 they worked with attorneys from all over the country in the Purdue Pharmaceuticals bankruptcy, the maker of the brand named drug OxyContin, and assisted these other law firms by filing their outstanding claims.
Younes and Hall took on the task, and sole responsibility, in making sure that all of the claims were timely and properly filed. When everything was said and done, Younes and Hall had filed enough claims to become one of the top twenty filers in the entire Purdue Pharmaceuticals multi-billion-dollar bankruptcy. Hall explains that “The experience of working with such a great team and getting the claims filed on time was amazing, however at the end of the day it was sad to realize that we had lost claimants to the disease along the way, and while I am happy some can get the compensation they deserve, I just wish everyone that had started the process with us could be there at the end.”
After all the Purdue claims were filed, Younes and Hall realized how under represented this segment of the population was. In the case of Purdue, statisticians from the CDC estimate that roughly 450,000 1 people had died between 1998-2018 due to opioids, but the claims that were filed in the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy indicate that only around 8,000-11,000 filed a claim on behalf of a dead loved one, or only 1.5 to 2%.
From a numbers standpoint it seemed that many injured individuals were not being properly represented or getting a claim timely filed. This led to the idea behind www.Opioid-Settlement.com, a system which can get your claim before a proper legal professional in a simple and quick way. This time the company is Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. Mallinckrodt was one of the biggest producers of generic opioids and there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who have taken Mallinckrodt products.
Many of these people have had their lives devastated by the addiction associated with the use of these products. The goal of www.Opioid-Settlement.com is to help streamline the process for people who have claims against Mallinckrodt, and attempt to get them the best possible outcome they can.
