CHARLESTON – Testifying in the bellwether opioid trial, a expert witness on pharmaceutical-related abatement programs said he does not believe Cabell County has sufficient treatment programs to fight the opioid epidemic.
The City of Huntington and Cabell County sued three of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical distribution companies – AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson Corp. – in 2017 claiming the companies are largely responsible for fueling the current opioid epidemic that led the area to lead the nation in prescription opioid related deaths and at one-time being named the “epicenter of the opioid crisis.
The federal bench trial, part of a larger national Multi-District Litigation case, resumed June 28 after a weeklong break.
