WHAT ARE STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME (SJS) AND TOXIC EPIDERMAL NECROLYSIS (TEN)?

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare, but potentially fatal condition. Most SJS cases are triggered by an allergic reaction from taking over-the-counter or prescription drugs. Symptoms usually appear within 1-3 weeks, and affected patients should seek immediate medical attention. The only difference between SJS and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is how much of the patient’s skin is affected (10% or less for SJS, 30% or more for TEN). Due to the high mortality rates associated with SJS (up to 5%) and TEN (25-35% result in death), most patients require hospitalization in burn units to receive proper medical treatment.

Justice You Deserve

If you or a loved one suffered life-threatening SJS/TEN complications after taking any over-the-counter or prescription medication, you may be entitled to a cash settlement. Get started today with your free claim review to see if you may qualify for financial compensation.

Depending on the patient’s outcome, claims have been filed across the U.S. for medical malpractice, wrongful death, and failure to warn. As a result, many injured plaintiffs have already won significant SJS/TEN settlements. A New York jury awarded $120 million in damages — the largest SJS/TEN medical malpractice settlement to date — to Jacqueline Martin in 2012.
