莫拉县已成为新墨西哥州第一个向阿片类止痛药的制造商和经销商寻求损害赔偿的政府实体。
Mora County Commissioners, Paula A. Garcia (Chair), George A. Trujillo, and Alfonso J. Griego unanimously voted Monday (August 14, 2017) to retain the firms of Napoli Shkolnik, (New York) and Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway, P.C. (Albuquerque) to file a lawsuit on behalf of Mora County. Mora County joins numerous governmental entities nationwide already represented by Napoli Shkolnik. In New Mexico, the Napoli law firm has associated Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway. Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway is an Albuquerque-based law firm that focuses on catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation to ensure corporate accountability.
针对处方阿片剂的各种制造商和分销商提起的诉讼指控阿片剂的欺诈和疏忽营销和分销。该诉讼要求赔偿莫拉县在抗击阿片类药物流行病方面产生的费用。律师事务所表示,他们知道其他政府实体有兴趣加入诉讼工作。
“莫拉县很自豪能在新墨西哥州领导这项开创性的诉讼,”莫拉县专员委员会主席保拉·加西亚 (Paula A. Garcia) 说。 Garcia 女士说:“ 鸦片类药物泛滥 造成了破坏,几乎触及了每个公民的生活,当然也导致了该县不必要的开支和资源利用。”
“For many years the manufacturers and distributors of opioid pain medications have earned billions of dollars in profits flooding this country with opioids” says Napoli Shkolnik attorney 约瑟夫·恰乔,“这些诉讼旨在迫使这些公司清理这些药丸造成的破坏。”
Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway 的 Josh Conaway 指出,“2010 年至 2015 年间,新墨西哥州与阿片类药物过量相关的急诊科就诊率有所增加。2014 年,每 4 例药物过量死亡中就有 3 例涉及处方阿片类药物或海洛因。莫拉县是新墨西哥县中阿片类药物过量率最高的县之一。”
“这些制药公司毒害了我们的社区并污染了我们的孩子”说 保罗那不勒斯, of counsel for Napoli Shkolnik . “The painkiller overdose epidemic is a classic case of putting profits before people,” he said. “Many opioid manufacturers were so intent on selling as much product as possible that they either turned a blind eye towards, or intentionally buried, reports that these drugs were highly addictive and potentially deadly.”
