No. Our pharmaceutical product-liability expertise is what determines what an SJS case produces. The same attorneys who have led SJS litigation across the country serve directly San Diego families. There is no referral out and no affiliate arrangement. What a San Diego client receives is what every other client of the firm receives.



Beyond a General Injury Firm
San Diego families deserve lawyers who are familiar with SJS. These cases demand attorneys who understand the drug, the warning label, and the damage that follows.
Dunn Sheehan brings national SJS focus to Southern California, pursuing drug manufacturers while families protect the stability SJS threatened.
When the Warning Wasn’t Enough
No one fills a prescription expecting SJS. But when a drug’s warning label fails to give prescribers what they need to protect their patients, the consequences can be as severe as permanent vision loss, organ damage, or death.
Dunn Sheehan holds manufacturers responsible for that, because the label that failed your family was their product and their obligation.

Not entirely. California treats generic-drug warning claims differently than most states. A legal pathway may exist that allows the brand-name manufacturer to be held responsible, even when the pharmacy filled a generic version.
Whether that applies depends on the specific medication, the label’s history, and the facts of the injury. At Dunn Sheehan, we review this information in every case that our team of SJS lawyers in San Diego handle.
California has filing deadlines for pharmaceutical injury claims, and the specific timeline depends on the facts of each case. The most important step is to reach out as soon as possible.
Evidence preservation of prescription records, pharmacy documentation, clinical timelines matters as much as the deadline itself, and these become harder to gather with time. Dunn Sheehan manages both from the first conversation. Don’t let a question about timing delay that call.
Nothing changes in your finances the moment you call. Dunn Sheehan advances every cost the case requires, including:
- Medical records
- Expert consultations
- Filing fees
