Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is primarily used as a pain medication, particularly for severe and chronic pain. It is also used with other medicines immediately before or during surgery to help the anesthetic work better. It is a potent opioid analgesic, meaning it is a highly effective pain reliever. When used under the supervision of a healthcare professional and according to prescribed guidelines, the risk of addiction associated with fentanyl (as with other opioid pain relievers) can be minimized.
During the course of our nearly 15 years in the business, we’ve provided attorneys with consulting and testifying experts in over a hundred fields of expertise for many different types of litigation. From time to time a particular litigation area gets “hot,” which leads to attorneys requesting experts in particular specialties for an unusually high number of cases. For example, there was a period of about 3 years a while back when we provided experts for dozens of asbestos cases.
