Chronic pain patients have been denied their vital pain medications. We are pleased to announce the filing of two National Class Action Lawsuits, the intent of which is to right that wrong. There are a large number of people who need pain medications because they suffer from chronic pain. We have very carefully assessed the problem and believe an appropriate response is to assert the claim that chronic pain patients have been discriminated against in violation of federal law. We have filed against the largest national pharmacy giants, CVS, Walgreens and Costco.

These suits are filed on behalf of individuals who were unable to have or who have experienced difficulty in having their legitimate prescriptions for opioid medication filled to relieve their suffering from:

*chronic pain;

*pain associated with a cancer diagnosis;

*pain from sickle cell disease;

*palliative or nursing home care;

*pain from nerve injuries;

*pain from osteoarthritic changes.

QUESTION :

If I want to participate in the class action lawsuits, what do I do?

ANSWER:

You do not need to call anyone. If you want to participate and you fit within the class definition you will be automatically included. If you do not want to participate, you will be given the opportunity to opt out.
