The Case Against Opioid Manufacturers

Clark County, Nevada, filed a lawsuit against opioid distributors and manufacturers on the morning of Thursday, December 7th, 2017, as Clark County residents deal with the ongoing opioid epidemic. District Attorney Steve Wolfson filed a 46-page complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court with approval from the County Commission. The widespread use of opioid drugs has resulted in a national epidemic of opioid deaths and addictions. Local governments, including Clark County, have been strained to the breaking point by this public health crisis.

The Clark County District Attorney's Office is working in association with the local law firm Eglet Adams. Eglet Adams has a reputation for handling large cases in the Nevada judiciary and is known for obtaining some of the largest verdicts in the United States (2010 & 2013). They have been the only law firm in America to obtain the largest injury verdict twice.
