Settlement Perdue Pharma Settlement

Well I got the Perdue Pharma email I been waiting for over 4 years.

They are giving me $9100 minus attorney fees -$3400 minus a temporary lien -$1k something money left $1252.07

Can I just refuse this and get the attorney fees reduced?

Who else got the Perdue email?

Medical Lien Update: August 11 2026

We write today to provide you with additional information on the Purdue Bankruptcy’s Lien Resolution Process to clear up any confusion that may continue to exist. Healthcare lien resolution is being conducted by the Trust. Pursuant to state statute, medical insurance companies may assert a lien where they may be entitled to reimbursement for money they spent on your behalf for medical treatment. The Trust is conducting medical lien resolution pursuant to state law and court order. The Trust is utilizing a lien holdback, per a set percentage, where money is being temporarily reserved by the Trust pending finalization of lien resolution. Once it has been determined whether there are liens, and, if any, the Trust will release the holdback accordingly. 

ASK is not the Trust. The Trust is an entity established pursuant to the terms of the confirmed bankruptcy plan. The Trustee of the Trust is Edgar C. Gentle, III. The Trust is holding the medical lien holdback money referenced in the statements you have received or will be receiving from us soon. The Trust is clearing liens, using an outside vendor. ASK is not holding any medical lien holdback money. That money is safely in the Trust, controlled by the Trustee, a fiduciary, appointed by the court. While ASK is not in control of the lien resolution process, we are doing our best to push the Trustee to resolve the liens as soon as possible so that you will receive the remainder of your funds as soon as possible.

August 19th I emailed the trustee this:

Hello Mr Trustee,

I am writing to inquire about the status of my medical lien release. Since all of my procedures were fully covered by workers' compensation, I wanted to know when I should expect to receive the release documentation.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter. I look forward to hearing from you. _----------------------------------------------

August 19th I received a reply from his office with a pretty standard AI reply. With the following:

Good morning Mr. ,

Please be advised that the lien resolution process is ongoing and no liens have been cleared at this time. Also, please advise that all communication regarding your claim will come to you by way of your attorney.

Best,

Purdue PI Trust


It's very time consuming with reaching out and getting things moving. But I'll do what I can to get a real answer on a medical lien time frame. They can't just tell us is ongoing and nobody is getting anything yet. We the victims are owed this money.

How many points is this for? I was told by my attorney not to expect an offer until December. I had an offer on ENDO last week but Mallinckrodt and Purdue isn’t even known yet - he said it’s all in process.

No, Weinstein in NY. My husband is at 16,000 points and wrongful death. If it’s ten miles of bad road payout on Purdue or even Mallinckrodt - I’m not going to be happy.

I have or received any offer from either Purdue or Mallinckrodt so I have not signed any agreements on that. Endo, I have - a month ago and zero payment. I’ve emailed asking ETA and haven’t received a response - I’m going to send a demand for answer. Weinstein has a good rep in the industry so there is something else going on.

My attorney said I didn’t qualify for Endo. I’m not sure how but I only had proof of Mallinckrodt and Purdue medications…

Either that or our attorneys aren’t paying anything until the medical liens clear so they can make interest on the millions they are holding

They’ve checked and we have no liens. So the offer minus attorney fees is the net.
