Seeger Weiss wins $25.16 million for Accutane victim

This week Seeger Weiss scored another victory against Accutane, a powerful anti-acne medication that has been linked to several serious side effects, including inflammatory bowel disorder.

On Monday, a nine-person New Jersey jury has found that pharmaceutical maker Hoffman-La Roche Inc. failed to provide an adequate warning of the possible condition to Andrew McCarrell’s prescribing physician, which then led to his development of chronic IBD. Mr. McCarrell, who was 23 at time he took Accutane, developed a severe case of IBD and later had his colon removed. The jury awarded compensatory damages of $25.16 million to Andy, now in his thirties.

Hoffman-La Roche faces as many as 800 cases around the country. Seeger Weiss has won 5 consecutive verdicts against Roche since 2005.
