George E. Loucas

George Loucas is the Founder and Principal Owner of Loucas Law

As a pharmacist and lawyer, George provides a rare combination of expertise and experience to families who have suffered a loss of or injury to a loved one from prescription drug overdose (Rx OD). George’s reputation and success in litigating these cases led the family of world-renowned recording artist PRINCE to select him as the lawyer to help fight for his overdose death.  Loucas Law has achieved nearly $40 Million in verdicts and settlements in behalf of families and victims of Rx OD cases.

The typical Rx OD case involves a medical professional overprescribing addictive medication(s); the patient becoming addicted, unable to follow directions, taking too many; and, resulting in death or serious injury from overdose. A medical and/or pharmacy professional can be held responsible for overprescribing and over dispensing, respectively, any kind of addictive medication, such as opiate painkillers (oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, fentanyl) or anti-anxiety agents (Xanax, Valium, etc.) or when prescribed together. INSERT LINK TO INTERVIEW LAKESIE?

George attended West Virginia University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy. Following graduation, George became a Registered Pharmacist and worked in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacists are among the most highly educated and trusted medical professionals.

While working as a Pharmacist, George began law school at Cleveland Marshall College of Law. He earned his Juris Doctor from there and, following admission to the Ohio bar, he began his career as a trial lawyer, handling primarily medical malpractice cases on behalf of victims and their families.

George started handling Rx OD cases over 15 years ago and has successfully tried and settled dozens of these cases. As George’s unquestioned expertise in prosecuting Rx OD cases became well known in Ohio, he was able to settle a number of cases without filing a lawsuit. George is grateful to be considered the most capable lawyer handling Rx OD cases in Ohio and probably in the country.

Unfortunately, RxOD deaths remain at epidemic levels throughout the United States. George believes that the most effective way to achieve safer prescribing is to hold prescribing doctors and dispensing pharmacies accountable for their negligent practices. George’s added knowledge of drug and alcohol addiction gives his clients the advantage they need in fighting for justice over the needless deaths and injuries of victims of this epidemic.

 Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death of a 47-year-old wife and mother who died from mixed drug toxicity as a result of a long-term prescription of dangerous drugs including oxycodone, lorazepam, bupropion, tramadol, venlafaxine, zolpidem, mirtazapine, cyclobenzaprine by her primary care physician. She was being treated for various medical issues with no attempt to diagnose the source of pain or determine that the opiate prescribing was effective in any way for her complaints. She became addicted to the medications. Despite showing signs of being out of control and taking too much of her prescribed medications, the doctor did not intervene and refer her for detoxification and rehabilitation to get her off of the medications or keep her on a lower dose by working with a team of specialists, including an addictionologist. The combination of multiple medications that the doctor prescribed depressed the body’s ability to control breathing. Breathing slowed to the point not enough oxygen was getting to the heart which fell out of rhythm, resulting in an overdose death.

Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death
 Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death of a 41-year-old wife and mother who died from the improper prescribing and induction of methadone by her primary care physician. Methadone stays in the body for several days before being excreted while the effects only last for 4-6 hours. When starting the patient on methadone, the risk of death is increased because she unknowingly takes more of the medication to offset the pain, not knowing that it is building up to toxic levels in the body, which caused her death.

Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death
Medical Malpractice for a 41-year-old wife and mother for improperly being weaned off of Xanax, causing a brain injury. Her primary care physician prescribed high doses of Xanax for antianxiety for several years. Xanax can cause seizures if discontinued abruptly. The doctor weaned her too quickly, resulting in seizures, which in turn caused lack of oxygen to the brain.

Medical Malpractice
Settlement for 51-year-old mother who died as a result of a multi-drug overdose after long term prescribing of dangerous drugs (Vicodin, Oxycontin, Valium, Diazepam, Lorazepam, Ambien, estazolam) by her primary care physician for low back pain. The decedent was arrested for OVI and ordered into treatment with the primary care physician responsible for conducting urine drug screens, which he never did until just before her death. Both of those urine drug screens were failed and the primary care did nothing and continued to prescribe. She should have been referred for intervention with detoxification and rehabilitation carried out by a team with pain management and addiction specialists.

Settlement
Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death of a 48-year-old husband and father who died as a result of negligent prescribing of Oxycontin, Valium and Ambien over a prolonged period of time by his primary care physician as well as inappropriate dispensing of these medications by various pharmacies. The combination of multiple medications that the doctor prescribed depressed the central nervous system’s ability to control breathing. Breathing slowed to the point not enough oxygen was getting to the heart which fell out of rhythm, causing overdose death.

Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death
Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death of a 58-year-old mother who died as a result of multiple drug toxicity, including opiates, alprazolam, phenobarbital, ethanol and acetaminophen. Her primary care physician negligently prescribed controlled substances, including narcotic pain relievers and benzodiazepine antianxiety pills in high doses despite knowledge of decedent’s substance abuse history, drug seeking behavior and addiction. Every bottle of opiate and benzodiazepine medications in the United States has an imprinted warning that says to healthcare prescribers and pharmacists that prescribing these two classes of drugs together can cause coma and death. These warnings were ignored as were the red flags of addiction, resulting in her overdose death.
