There is an opioid epidemic in the United States, and it is at least partially fueled by doctors who negligently fill prescriptions without doing their proper due diligence. Even worse, there are a number of practicing doctors who recklessly or knowingly overprescribe highly addictive medications. If you or a loved one have suffered harm due to prescription opioids, we are here to help. At GED Lawyers, LLP, our experienced prescription malpractice lawyers zealously represent victims and families. We work with families throughout the U.S. with compassion and dedication to helping them find justice after an opioid tragedy.
Negligence in prescribing opioids can quickly lead to addiction and even death
Opioids like hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, tramadol, and others have legitimate medical uses. Unfortunately, however, these substances are also extremely addictive, and opioid addiction can have a number of negative consequences, including:
- Job loss
- Criminal charges
- Health problems
- Income instability
- Divorce
- Progression to harder street drugs
- Relationship problems
- Death
And as noted above, addiction often begins with a legal prescription. If you or a loved one have been harmed by prescription opioids, allow our experienced opioid prescription malpractice attorneys to help you obtain compensation for your losses.
