Juneau County has joined 12 other Wisconsin Counties in filing a lawsuit against opioid manufacturers. Juneau County is asking for compensatory and punitive damages for the substantial costs they spend to combat the problems caused by addiction to opioids manufactured by these companies.
The Counties are filing a lawsuit with the firms Crueger Dickinson and Simmons Hanly Conroy from which they can directly receive compensation from a potential settlement or ruling. The lawsuit lists:
- Deceptive trade practice
- Public nuisance
- Unjust enrichment
-Intentional misinterpretation
A big part of this is the strain placed on emergency protective services finding care for children of parents who can become incarcerated or placed in inpatient treatment with improper use of opioids.
