In 2002, a 15-year old student pilot flew a light aircraft into a building in Tampa, Florida. His family claimed that Accutane had caused psychosis in the boy. Another Accutane accusation involves Congressman Bart Stupak of Michigan, who alleges that the drug contributed to his son committing suicide hours after his prom in 2000.

In the United States, more than 2,000 women became pregnant while taking Accutane between 1982 and 2003. Most of these pregnancies ended in abortion, but about 160 babies were born with severe birth defects.

If you are a victim of Accutane, do not hesitate to contact an experienced attorney who can help you fight for justice. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation that can help provide stability in the future and assist you during this challenging time.

The Law Firm of Steigerwalt & Associates is here to help the victims of Accutane throughout the country.
