America’s 21st Century Epidemic: Insurance Issues Arising from the Opioid Crisis

 

Speaker:

Jodi S. Green
Nicolaides Fink Thorpe Michaelides Sullivan LLP

 

The presentation will first address the history leading up to the opioid epidemic and the background of the current underlying litigation arising from the opioid epidemic. The majority of underlying lawsuits include hundreds of cases filed by local and state governments, labor unions, and hospitals, many of which have been recently consolidated into an MDL proceeding. These lawsuits seek reimbursement of increased costs of public services, prescription costs, and other associated damages the plaintiffs have incurred due to addiction and overdose of citizens. The presentation will identify the distinctions in the underlying lawsuits, which will provide a basis to categorize the lawsuits as potentially covered, or not covered, for coverage purposes. Next, the presentation will walk through the coverage issues raised by these lawsuits, including whether the lawsuits seek damages for “bodily injury” caused by an “occurrence”; whether the lawsuits seek “damages”; the application of various exclusions, including intentional acts exclusions, products exclusions, drug and pharmaceutical exclusions, and known loss; and the application of related claim, batch, or integrated occurrence language.

Topics
• Criminal Fines and Prosecutions
• Types of Civil Lawsuits
• Insurance Coverage Issues
• Background of the Opioid Crisis
• Timeline of the Epidemic

The Trump Administration’s Environmental Policies and Actions:  Impending Disaster, Nothing but Bluster, Neither, or Both?

The Trump Administration has taken bold positions on key environmental issues including withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, seeking to roll back fuel efficiency standards, revamping the Waters of the United States Rule, and many others. 

 

The pro-environment side of things decries these positions and posits they will usher in a dystopian nightmare of sea level rise, loss of key pollinators through speciescide leading to global famine, increased severity storm and drought cycles and the resultant severity in the wild fire/mudslide cycle, and a host of other disastrous outcomes. 

 

Simultaneously, the pro-industry side of things heralds these policies and actions as a much-needed reining in of government overreach that offers much-needed relief to an American industry stifled under the last administration, and poo-poos the environmentalists’ warnings as nothing more than the crazed rantings of "libtards" and "econuts." 

 

Both positions can’t be right…or can they? 

 

This program offers a panel of legal, regulatory, and scientific experts that will tease out the Trump Administration’s positions and actions on key environmental issues in the hope of being able to offer a sense of whether panic is in fact called for (and, if so, in what sense), or whether the Administration’s position on environmental issues is just so much carbon-dioxide and methane heavy hot air that will all be water under the bridge in a few years, leaving the planet and its inhabitants no better or worse off than under prior administrations.

Don't Be Afraid of GDPR: Privacy Tips for Small to Medium Size Businesses

On the heels of the Facebook Cambridge Analytica story came the news that the massive EU data privacy law was operational as of May 25th, 2018. While much  attention focused on big tech and ad platforms, the law also applies to a large number of US businesses regardless of size. This program offers tips on how smaller and less visible organizations can be confident that their management of personal data will withstand GDPR scrutiny. This program will also compare & contrast GDPR with newly passed California Consumer Privacy Act.
