Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear is planning to announce a lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company on Monday for contributing to the state's opioid crisis.
This will be the ninth lawsuit filed in relation to the opioid epidemic. Companies that Beshear has already filed suit against include Cardinal Health and Endo Pharmaceuticals.
Beshear will make his announcement Monday afternoon in Frankfort and the announcement will be streamed online.
Beshear’s office says Kentucky has the highest number of individual opioid lawsuits by an attorney general.
