Published on August 30, 2019

Watch McIntyre Law’s Noble McIntyre weigh in and offer legal analysis on the results of this landmark opioid trial.

Balkman’s ruling came in the first case to go to trial in a list of pending lawsuits claiming that opioid manufacturers are liable for the harm caused by the US’s opioid crisis.
