Opioid trials
A federal trial for a case filed by Huntington and Cabell County against drug companies they accuse of creating and fueling the opioid epidemic in the area will not take place in January as planned due to COVID-19.
The lawsuits argue the companies had a duty to monitor and report the high volume of pills being shipped into the area, but ignored it.
The case had been set to go to trial Jan. 4, but U.S. District Court Judge David A. Faber continued the trial indefinitely due to COVID-19. A pretrial conference will now take place Jan. 6 and Feb. 3 at 11 a.m. via videoconference to further discuss the case.
