State of Nevada Prepares to Sue Opioid Manufacturers

The Nevada Attorney General’s Office and the State have entered into contract negotiations with the Nevada-based law office of Eglet Prince, to address Nevada’s opioid epidemic. Outside counsel will be retained to assist in the investigation and litigation of the manufacture, distribution, marketing and sale of opioids that have caused or contributed to Nevada’s opioid epidemic. Nevada Consumer Advocate Ernest Figueroa says the opioid crisis has devastated our communities, and claimed the lives of too many Nevadans. He says by contracting with counsel to work in conjunction with the Attorney General’s Office, the State of Nevada will be a formidable force to seek justice for those who have harmed our residents and State.
