In a significant legal development, lawyers involved in the $1.37 billion settlement with Kroger over opioid-related claims are set to receive $149 million in attorney fees. The Dallas-based law firm Baron & Budd, which initiated the opioid multidistrict litigation, is at the forefront of this case. Legal experts anticipate that lawyers successfully bringing class action suits in similar cases could potentially become billionaires. Additionally, in a related context, a court filing has revealed that plaintiffs' lawyers in House and related cases have received preliminary approval for a $2.8 billion settlement, while also noting that third parties have sought to profit from the settlement by offering claims-filing services. Meanwhile, class action firms are gearing up for potential claims against Jaguar Land Rover, and hundreds of women are preparing to take legal action in the UK over talc cancer claims.
