ProPublica and The Philadelphia Inquirer are investigating how individuals affected by the opioid crisis have been compensated for addiction and other harm linked to the distribution of tens of billions of prescription opioid pills across the United States.
If you have sought or are awaiting payments from the court-appointed trusts funded by Purdue Pharma, Mallinckrodt, or Endo Pharmaceuticals, we want to hear from you. Share your experience with our reporters to help shed light on the compensation process.
