Stevens Johnson Syndrome Lawsuits

Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare inflammatory skin disorder that can be fatal. Stevens Johnson Syndrome causes lesions in the mouth, eyes, and on the body. It can also spread to the internal organs. Although the majority of cases occur in people between the ages of 20 and 40, SJS can occur at any age. Many of the incidents of Stevens Johnson arise out of allergic reaction to a drug. More than 100,000 deaths among patients each year in the United States have been linked to allergic drug reactions, some of them caused by Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

SJS lawsuits against manufacturers

Legal action can be taken against the manufacturers of the drugs responsible for SJS. Injured parties may be able to file individual lawsuits against manufacturer, or they may file as part of a class action lawsuit, joining a number of people that have been similarly affected by the same drug.

A class action SJS lawsuit is a cost-effective way to seek recovery from a manufacturer of a drug that caused your SJS. However, any settlement received in the case of a class action SJS lawsuit will be split among all the parties to the lawsuit, therefore the settlement amount for each individual will usually be lower than it would have been for an individual lawsuit.
