Deaths and addiction have resulted from the prescription of painkillers manufactured by drug companies which have systematically claimed that they were beneficial and still refuse to acknowledge they are presently one of the leading causes of death and addiction. The common names for these drugs are Vicodin, Percocet and OxyContin. Their technical names are fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine and methadone while these drugs are used to treat short-term, intense pain, they are not appropriate for chronic pain.

Lawsuits have already been commenced by state and local government so that they may recover the costs they have incurred as a result of the deception practiced by the drug companies. Your claim may be just as important, if not more important, then these claims because your health is involved. As part of their practice, the drug companies paid doctors to convince other doctors to prescribe opioids and set up “independent” agencies to approve and recommend them. In fact, these agencies were controlled by the drug manufacturers.
