Your fundamental constitutional right to trial by jury is being taken away from you every day by big businesses, including, but not limited to, the drug companies that we've talked about in opioid litigation.
Jeffrey B. Simon is not your typical lawyer. As a founding partner of SIMON GREENSTONE PANATIER, PC, and ranked among America's top personal injury attorneys, Simon is on the front lines of the legal battle against the opioid epidemic. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', host Joanie Sigal sits down with Simon to uncover the gritty details of his fight against drug manufacturers and supply chain corporations.
Simon, who chairs the Texas Opioid MDL Plaintiffs Steering Committee, is dedicated to holding these companies accountable for their role in the crisis. He shares his experiences from filing Texas's first opioid-related lawsuit to representing Dallas County in the state's inaugural opioid trial. Simon also sheds light on how pharmaceutical companies aggressively pushed addictive drugs onto physicians, often using sales reps with minimal knowledge of medicine or addiction.
He emphasizes the crucial role of trial by jury in seeking justice and how big businesses are trying to undermine this process. If you're looking to understand the legal side of the opioid epidemic and the importance of consumer protection, this episode is a must-listen. Jeffrey B. Simon's insights offer a compelling look at the ongoing fight to bring accountability to those responsible for the opioid crisis.
