Description
Across the country, states and local governments are suing the manufacturers and distributors of opioids.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the many factors counsel should consider when assessing coverage for opioid-related claims and provides practical considerations regarding the types of policies typically in play for resolving these disputes.
