International Construction, Inc., “a company providing health and welfare benefits to its employees and their families,” filed suit Monday against numerous pharmaceutical companies, including McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and others. The suit, which parallels many others, seeks reimbursement for the “extraordinary economic damages” that afflicted the plaintiff, and alleges that the defendant corporations are responsible.
“Prescription opioids are deadlier than heroin, with related drug overdose deaths surpassing car accident deaths in the United States. The direct costs incurred by employers, including Plaintiff, are overwhelming,” the complaint said. The plaintiffs argued that the defendant pharmaceutical companies “intentionally and negligently” allowed large amounts of opiods to flow freely.
