The story Ligation Funding Burford Capital starts at abt TWO MINUTES.
There is no mention of them funding class action lawsuits.
HOWEVER, if one of the major wholesalers or major chain pharmacies are taken to court and the chronic pain pt and/or community prevails. That would suggest that a lot of other class action law firms would be lining up to sue these large healthcare corporations.
According to this article, this “finance” company has a 95% success rate, but of course they are fairly selective in what cases they will finance, and if/when they win.. they want TWICE the money they put out for the lawsuit back, but if the case is a LOSER…the plaintiff owes nothing.
Of course, I am sure that most chronic pain pts would be happy to get little money from a lawsuit, if they could get their pain management therapy back. I suspect that a sizeable award from one of these large healthcare companies, many other law firms that will take a class action law suit on a contingency basis. I would think that to get these large healthcare corporations to redirect their lobbying dollars to lobbying for a change in how DOJ/DEA are going after those in the legal opioid distribution system and let doctors to be more free to prescribe control meds to legit chronic pain pts and other dealing with subjective diseases and in need of controlled meds. Perhaps even taken the production quotas off of the pharmas that produce controlled meds
Obviously, It is going to take one or more in the community to make some phone calls. Apparently Burford Capital is just one of several companies that are in this business of backing lawsuits.
Normally, it only takes 1-2 plaintiffs in a class action case, I am not an attorney, but in this particular case, I think that it would need a plaintiff from every decade of age. To demonstrate to the court that chronic pain, has nothing to do with a certain age. Preteen pts can be dealing with numerous disease issues that generate pain, including terminal cancer among other health issues.

Interesting! Thx for the info!
Wish we could go right to the source(#DEA & #CDC & everyone else involved) to sue them. But it would be a start to try & get a class action suit to sue the Pharma industry.
Suggest you read these Here is the SMOKING GUN to prove civil rights violations – could support a class action lawsuit – but the community needs to stand up https://www.pharmaciststeve.com/42259-2/ DEA & surrogates are trying to throttle the availability of controlled meds to pts https://www.pharmaciststeve.com/dea-surrogates-are-trying-to-throttle-the-availability-of-controlled-meds-to-pts/ Why not start with the 3 largest drug wholesalers and 3 largest pharmacy chains that have been sued by 50 state AG’s and agreed in writing to sell less controls to all pharmacies and the chain pharmacies agreed – in writing – to dispense fewer controls… both using a broad brush to indiscriminately to cut necessary meds to disabled pts start with violating the Americans with Disability Act and probably a handful of other laws
