WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
Mallinckrodt – the drug company that makes Roxicodone, GENERIC OPIOIDS, HYDROCODONE, OXYCODONE, CODIENE, fentanyl patches, generic Oxycontin, Vicodin, and many other opioids – has declared bankruptcy with the terms of the settlement to include creation of a 150 Million dollar “payout” fund dedicated solely to individuals who have suffered addiction or other issues as a result of taking their drugs.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME?
AND HOW DID YOU GET MY NAME, PHONE AND EMAIL ADDRESS?
If you’ve taken a Mallinckrodt opioid and had problems or suffered addiction, it could mean thousands of dollars as a potential cash settlement paid out from the bankruptcy fund.
As for how we got your contact info…. you had responded to an outreach on Facebook regarding the “Purdue Pharma” Opioid Bankruptcy Claims last year. The outreach was sponsored by a consortium of law firms involved in the bankruptcy and some of them are now accepting clients for the Mallinckrodt settlement. The Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy Committees are beginning the process that will lead to the pay-out of millions of dollars from the settlement claims fund to assist victims of addiction.
>The bankruptcy settlement is in its initial phase and if you have been prescribed opioids manufactured by Mallinckrodt, then you are potentially eligible to qualify to submit a potential claim - EVEN WITH A PURDUE CLAIM ALREADY FILED.
IS THIS FOR REAL?
HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SCAM.
Good questions – we work for law firms and you can to make sure this is 100% legitimate – you should NOT sign up until you are sure.
First – Google the settlement. Learn all you can – that is what we would do.
Second – meet the attorneys and ask questions – that is also what we would do – we will show you how below.
OK, HOW DO I KNOW IF I QUALIFY?
If you’ve taken a Mallinckrodt opioid, or any generic, off-brand opioid prescribed by a licensed doctor and filled from a pharmacy and you had problems – THAT’S IT – YOU LIKELY QUALIFY AND CAN MOVE FORWARD.
NOTE: If you don’t know if the generic drugs you have taken were made by Mallinckrodt – THAT’S OK, the law firms will find out for you for FREE.
COULD I HAVE TAKEN A MALLINCKRODT OPIOID AND NOT KNOWN?
ABSOLUTELY! Yes, this is very common since doctors often prescribe generic drugs – sometimes without even telling patients - and Mallinckrodt made a tremendous amount of generic opioids.
The best way to tell is to pull records – and good news – the law firms here are agreeing to do that on THEIR dime. Meaning – they will pay and do the work to find out.
WHY WOULD THE LAW FIRM DO THIS FOR ME FOR FREE?
IF IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU DID take a Mallinckrodt drug, you will agree to let them represent – this means they will work up and file a potential claim into the settlement fund on your behalf and negotiate for you for the MOST money possible on your individual potential claim.
And if you did not take a Mallinckrodt drug, both parties walk away and you owe nothing – no cost – no risk – no problem.

MORE COMMON QUESTIONS:
- Will this cost me anything? Answer: No this is a contingency fee contract which means you owe no upfront money. The law firm will only be paid if there is a settlement on your behalf.
- Why do I need to sign something? All law firms require a formal contract or retainer agreement to be signed by you and the law firm in order to represent you while making this claim.
- How much money will I receive? No one can answer that question at this time. However, based on estimates from law firms on Purdue Pharm a bankruptcy, in which there are many similarities, fully qualified claims are estimated to be worth thousands of dollars. Remember, it depends on several factors including the severity of the damages and addiction - and will be decided by tiered approach set up by the bankruptcy courts.
- How long will this take? No one can answer that question at this time. Typically, cases like this will take about a year or more to be resolved in the bankruptcy courts.
- Is this a class action? No, it is not. An individual claim in your name will be made against Mallinckrodt and submitted into the bankruptcy to get your piece of the settlement pay-out.
- Why do I have to provide my Social Security number? Law firms have to have your Social Security number in order to present your claim. It is one of the requirements by the court. This is a secure server and your information is guarded by attorney-client privilege.
