Mallinckrodt pharmaceuticals being one of the largest generic and opioid manufacturers in the United States was involved in lawsuits brought by the local governments over its role in the opioid crisis where the company agreed to pay 1.6 billion. In the agreement, it was endorsed by the 47 states and U.S territories alongside the lawyers' committee, which all represented the thousands of the cities and counties.
For Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals to cater to the settlement, the company stated that its generic specialty business, which includes opioids, would need to undergo the court restructuring, which would make the company become a public trust. In this case, there will be the establishment of the abatement fund, which will offset the expense and help combat the opioid addiction.
There is a great impact in the communities, which could be attributed to opioid abuse, and therefore there is a need for effective support to the community. The restructuring of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals will not affect its specialty drugs business, including the controversial H.P. Acthar Gel, and there will be a "channeling injunction," which could prevent more opioid lawsuits as well ensure the sale of the opioid products.
Currently, the company is experiencing many issues that could affect its ability to meet the lawsuits' settlement despite the settlement being spread out for eight years. To ensure the effective implementation of the proposed settlement for the opioid crisis, the company will be expected to file a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of the U.S Bankruptcy Code in the months. It would ensure there is effective creation of the trust, which would ensure all the debts have been resolved and the parties getting compensated.
People who believe their lives have been negatively impacted due to becoming addicted to opioids that were initially legal prescribed.
There are attorneys who are willing to take on the battle and help you get the justice you deserve. With that that said, should you win the case, the compensation will largely depend what happened to you as a result of your addiction.
