Mr. Loucas is the founder of Loucas Law, a medical malpractice firm that specializes in wrongful death cases involving prescription opiates.
Loucas Law’s first case was about 10 years ago. It involved a person who had taken too many prescription painkillers. “Their family doctor overprescribed for a period of at least 15 years,” George says. “It destroyed her entire family, and we ended up suing the doctor. She had become addicted. We won the case. From there, we were contacted by people who were not just addicted, but by… [families members of] people who had become addicted and died… it has progressed to the point that today, 80% of our practice is wrongful death cases, people who have died from drug overdoses—prescription opiate overdoses.”
