San Francisco Closes $230 Million Opioid Settlement

The City Attorney’s Office for the city of San Francisco has reached a settlement of over $230 million with the lone remaining defendant of its litigation. The settlement with the pharmacy chain Walgreens marks the end of more than five years of litigation for San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu. Most opioid settlements have concluded before a trial could be completed, sometimes even before a jury is impaneled. By contrast, this settlement was reached by Walgreens after the 11-week trial had already concluded, and the only remaining legal question was how much Walgreens would pay for its liability. <a href="https://medtruth.medium.com/san-francisco-closes-230-million-opioid-settlement-93e1fcb6629d">Click Here</a>
