CHARLESTON – A New York bankruptcy court order is allowing more than 270 additional claims to be filed on behalf of West Virginia children suffering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.
Last month, federal bankruptcy Judge Robert D. Drain issued an order in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy case that allows the filing of 272 NAS claimant proofs of claim.
““It is now clear that many, many families did not receive notice of the Purdue bankruptcy,” attorney Booth Goodwin told
The West Virginia Record. “We were certainly pleased to be able to provide these parents and guardians with the opportunity to submit claims on behalf of their children who really are the most vulnerable victims of the opioid crisis.”
