Why Choose CohenMalad, LLP for Your Suboxone Lawsuit?

We don’t just take on big pharmaceutical companies; we take them down. With decades of experience in defective drug litigation, we’ve fought and won against major corporations that put profits over people.

The manufacturers of Suboxone knew about the risks but didn’t warn doctors or patients. Now, thousands are left dealing with painful dental injuries, severe withdrawal symptoms, and other serious health issues. We’re here to hold them accountable and fight for the compensation our clients deserve.

What Is Suboxone?

Suboxone (a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone) was developed as a medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction. It was supposed to be a safer alternative to methadone, allowing people to transition off opioids without experiencing extreme withdrawal symptoms.

What they didn’t tell patients? Prolonged use of Suboxone could cause permanent damage, especially to teeth and gums, leading to costly medical bills and unnecessary suffering.

Dangerous Side Effects and Health Risks of Suboxone

Patients were led to believe Suboxone was safe for long-term use, but many have experienced devastating health issues, including:

  • Severe tooth decay and loss: Suboxone can erode enamel, leading to sudden and severe dental problems.
  • Gum disease and infections: Users report painful abscesses and gum deterioration requiring surgery.
  • Bone loss and jaw deterioration: In extreme cases, Suboxone users have suffered serious structural damage to their jaw and facial bones.
  • Painful withdrawal symptoms: Quitting Suboxone can result in severe withdrawal symptoms, including extreme nausea, anxiety, muscle pain, and insomnia.
  • Liver damage: Long-term use has been linked to liver damage due to the buprenorphine it contains, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.

These side effects aren’t rare. They’re happening to thousands of people who trusted this drug.

Who Is Eligible to File a Suboxone Lawsuit?

If you took Suboxone and suffered severe dental damage, painful withdrawals, or other major health issues, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Specifically, you may qualify if:

  • You developed tooth decay, gum disease, or significant dental damage after using Suboxone.
  • You required expensive dental work, extractions, or implants due to Suboxone-related damage.
  • You suffered withdrawal symptoms worse than expected when trying to stop using Suboxone.
  • You developed liver problems or other health complications after prolonged use.

If any of these apply to you, you could be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Suboxone Lawsuits

  • Can I file a lawsuit if I was prescribed Suboxone but wasn’t warned about the risks?

    Yes. If your doctor or pharmacist did not inform you of the potential severe side effects, especially the risk of dental decay, withdrawals, or long-term health issues, you may still have a claim. Drug manufacturers have a legal duty to warn both medical professionals and consumers about known risks. 

    Many lawsuits argue that Suboxone’s manufacturer downplayed or failed to disclose these risks, leaving patients unaware of the potential harm. Even if your doctor prescribed Suboxone in good faith, the liability still falls on the manufacturer for failing to provide proper warnings.

  • What if I was using the Suboxone film instead of tablets? Can I still sue?

    Yes. Many Suboxone users who developed severe dental damage used the film version, which dissolves under the tongue. The acidity in the medication can erode enamel, damage gums, and lead to tooth decay, especially with prolonged use. If you have suffered serious dental issues after using any form of Suboxone, you may be eligible to file a claim.

  • Can I still file a lawsuit if I stopped using Suboxone years ago?

    Possibly. The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit varies by state, but in many cases, the clock starts ticking when you first discover the injury, not when you took the drug. If you only recently connected your dental issues or other health problems to Suboxone, you may still have time to take legal action. 

    It’s critical to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to determine whether you’re within the legal timeframe to file or not.

  • Will joining a lawsuit cost me anything?

    No. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. There are no upfront legal fees, consultation costs, or hidden charges. If we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor, our fees come from that amount — never out of your pocket.

  • Can I sue even if I used Suboxone as directed?

    Yes. The lawsuits against Suboxone’s manufacturers are not based on misuse or overuse but on the lack of proper warnings about its risks. Many patients took the drug exactly as prescribed and still suffered severe dental damage, withdrawals, or other unexpected side effects. Even if you followed all medical instructions, you may still be entitled to compensation.

  • What kind of evidence do I need for my Suboxone lawsuit?

    The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be. Helpful evidence includes:

    • Medical records showing your Suboxone prescription and usage.
    • Dental records documenting severe tooth decay, extractions, or other damage.
    • Photos of your dental deterioration or other health issues.
    • Receipts and bills for dental treatments, medical care, or lost wages.
    • Any correspondence from doctors or pharmacies about Suboxone-related issues.

    If you don’t have all of this, don’t worry; our team will help gather the necessary evidence to build your case.
