Lamictal Causes Severe Burns to 12 Year Old

Mr. Neal represents the parents of a 12 year old girl who received burns to 85% of her body, inside and out, as a result of taking the adult anti-seizure drug Lamictal that was negligently prescribed by a Columbus, Georgia psychiatrist.  This drug is known to cause severe skin rashes known as Steven Johnson’s Syndrome or TENS when given to pediatric patients like Mr. Neal’s client.  The medical bills to date are $500,000 and Mr. Neal’s client will have life-long permanent injuries as a result of this dangerous drug.  Mr. Neal has retained a Harvard Psychiatrist as an expert witness to prosecute this civil action against the Psychiatrist who recklessly prescribed the Lamictal to the little girl.
