R-2.2.0.0.01 - Opioid-related Damages and Health Care Costs Recovery Act

Full text
11. The Government has the right to recover directly, from one or more manufacturers, wholesalers and consultants, opioid-related health care costs caused or contributed to by a wrong committed by any of them, in particular for failure to inform the public of the risks and dangers posed by those products.
That right is not a subrogated right. It belongs to the Government in its own right, and exists even if damages were recovered by health care recipients or other persons for injury caused or contributed to by such a wrong.
