SJS Medical Malpractice Lawyers
If you or a loved one contracted Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) as a result of medical professional negligence, you may be able to obtain compensation through a medical malpractice claim. Our SJS MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWYERS have extensive experience representing patients in proceedings involving a variety of complex conditions and syndromes. Having the right attorney on your side can make a big difference in your case, and we've had significant mediations and judgments for patients. You can investigate Stevens-Johnson syndrome to determine if medical negligence is related to a delayed or incorrect diagnosis or treatment. Unfortunately, SJS is often the result of medical malpractice. The drug may be incorrectly prescribed to a patient who has had a previous drug reaction to a drug or related drug.
An allergic reaction to a drug or medication may not begin immediately and may last up to a week or more after taking the medication. The reaction usually begins with a fever, sore throat, feeling unwell, or unwell. As the syndrome progresses, patients may develop ulcers or lesions on mucous membranes such as the mouth, lips, and genitals. In some cases, the symptoms of SJS may not be identified in time, delaying treatment and harming the patient. The earlier SJS is detected, the more likely the patient is to be cured. False claims must be filed within a specific period known as the statute of limitations.
Victims of malpractice are five years from the date of the error, or three years from the date the injury was first discovered, depending on the first possibility. Failure to submit within the appropriate statute of limitations may result in a complete loss of your right to compensation.

The development of SJS is a dermatological emergency. All medications, especially those known to be related to SJS, should be discontinued immediately. Treatment is similar to treatment for burn patients when initiating intravenous fluid and nutrition.
With the exception of supportive care, nothing can be done to repair the damage that has already occurred. Patients with SJS are treated in the hospital and if the cause of the problem is medication, the medication is stopped immediately. Survivors receive intravenous treatment to replace lost water, and the rest of the skin grows naturally. However, depending on the degree of injury and the degree of infection in the case of a newly born baby, the chances of survival can be random.

As mentioned above, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a life-threatening skin condition usually caused by a negative reaction to the medication.

Both forms of illness are not only fatal but can also be very painful and painful. Most often, these disorders are caused by a reaction to the drug, and one of the recent drugs that have been criticized is the cox-2 inhibitor Bextra, which is associated with these disorders.
