June 30, 2020 is the deadline for victims and families impacted by America’s opioid crisis to file a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin and other opioids. To determine if you qualify to file your own claim, you can receive a complementary evaluation by a trusted law firm, Eisenberg and Associates, by completing a short confidential case evaluation at www.opiatelawyers.com, by email at info@opiatelawyers.com or by calling 1-888-753-5241. It may not be necessary for Purdue Pharma’s opiates to have been the cause of impact to qualify. Best to get an evaluation now if you would like to help hold Purdue Pharma accountable for the role they’ve played in stimulating the worst drug epidemic in American history. Please share with others who have also been impacted by this devastating national health crisis.
