WV Opioid Suit Down to Final Defendant
<p>Walgreens has become the latest defendant to settle with West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey over claims related to multiple pharmacies’ roles in exacerbating the opioid crisis. During a Jan. 18 press conference, AG Morrisey announced that he had signed an $83 million settlement agreement with Walgreens, leaving Kroger as the sole remaining defendant to not settle.</p>
<p>AF Morrisey’s lawsuit is one of many that have been filed against pharmacies for allegedly failing to maintain effective controls as distributors and dispensers of opioids. These lawsuits allege that the failure to control the distribution of opioids led to an oversupply that intensified the opioid epidemic in West Virginia.</p>
