Opioid Settlements

State, local, and tribal governments have brought lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and other entities responsible for aiding the opioid epidemic. The lawsuits allege that these companies fueled the opioid crisis by marketing opioids in misleading ways, downplaying risks, exaggerating benefits, and engaging in reckless distribution practices. California has joined several of these national lawsuits to recover costs associated with the opioid epidemic.
