The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away a case by Arizona seeking to recover billions of dollars that the state has said that members of the Sackler family - owners of Purdue Pharma LP - funneled out of the OxyContin maker before the company filed for bankruptcy in September. The lawsuit accused eight Sackler family members of funneling $4 billion out of Purdue from 2008 to 2016 despite being aware that the company faced massive potential liabilities over its marketing of opioid medications.

Nearly $360,000 has been awarded to the family of an elderly man from Florida, who died after suffering a fall in Manor Pines Convalescent Center in Wilton Manors. The 92-year-old man fell and injured his head but was not taken to the hospital, according to the complaint. Rather than taking him for added care, the nursing staff took an X-ray and cleared him to return to his room. The man developed a hematoma and died eight days later.
