SJS is a serious drug reaction that can require intensive medical care and extended recovery. It is important to seek timely medical treatment and document all care received, as this information helps establish the seriousness of the situation.

Working with an attorney can help ensure records are organized, deadlines are met, and the case is presented clearly to insurers or courts.
Most cases progress through intake, evidence gathering, and a demand for compensation. The length depends on the complexity of medical records and whether a settlement is reached early.
