This injury blog is meant to raise awareness of the sheer volume and severity of personal
injuries across the country, as well as provide individuals who have been injured in an
accident or who have sustained any type of personal injury with a source for information.

Hoffman-La Roche, manufacturer of Accutane (isotretinoin), a drug used to treat various acne conditions, has announced that Accutane has been linked to several serious skin reactions, including Stevens Johnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, and kidney and liver failure. Many of these conditions lead to serious medical problems. Some of them can easily become fatal.
When companies release a new drug, we have certain expectations of that drug. We expect that the drug has been properly tested and that it is safe. Drug companies have an obligation to us as consumers to ensure that this is true. When drug companies neglect this responsibility, however, they should be held liable for the suffering they cause. Unfortunately, it's not always that simple. I have worked on these sorts of cases for twenty years and I have seen drug companies to go incredible lengths to avoid accepting responsibility for the injuries they cause. But the simple truth is this: the laws are in place to protect patients and consumers hurt by these drugs. With the help of Dallas medical malpractice lawyers experienced in prescription injuries, you can be sure that those responsible for your injuries are brought to justice.
