If you’ve suffered from Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and wish to seek legal assistance, there are different options you should discuss with an attorney to find out which is right for you. An attorney can help determine whether an individual injury lawsuit or a class action lawsuit is best suited for you, based upon your individual circumstances.
In a Steven Johnson Syndrome class action lawsuit, a few plaintiffs can file a lawsuit on behalf of a group of people who claim they’ve experienced the same type of injury as a result of the same defendant.

Medications that may be linked to the development of Stevens Johnson Syndrome include Celebrex, Vioxx, Bextra and Dilantin. SJS symptoms may arise in individuals who have severe allergic reactions to these and other medications.
