Q: When States sue drug companies, do they make money from it.
My son was in the Army and got hurt and had to have his whole left hip replaced. Because he was on so many pain meds he lost his life. Can I receive money from these law suits and from all the pain of losing my son and what he had do indure. Gary Phillips flyboyof3@yahoo.com
A:
First please ask Justia to take down your email address. You'll get all types of unwanted attention.
Second, as to your question, you need to contact the person at the Attorney General's office to see if they are filing on behalf of the state or on behalf of people in your son's situation, and if they wouldn't be covering the damages for your sons claim who are the class action attorneys bringing those cases. The problem is that for an individual case you have to know what he was taking etc.
