Negligence means a healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care, resulting in harm. In SJS cases, this could involve improper drug selection, dosing, or inadequate monitoring. Proving negligence requires medical records, medical opinions, and a direct link between the faulty action and the injury.

Depending on the case, these may include future care costs and non-economic losses. A clear calculation supported by medical and financial documentation helps ensure a fair settlement or award.
Liability identifies who is legally responsible for the injury, which could involve drug manufacturers, prescribing doctors, hospitals, or care facilities.
