Medication Errors

We Represent Clients Who Suffered Allergic or Adverse Reactions to Prescription Mistakes

Medication errors are a common type of medical malpractice. Depending on the severity of the error, patients may suffer minor to severe medical complications and injuries. Each year,7,000 to 9,000

people in the United States lose their life due to medication errors. These mistakes occur in a variety of medical settings, including hospitals, urgent care clinics, doctors’ offices, pharmacies and nursing homes.

If you believe you or your loved one suffered injuries from a medication error, it’s important to seek legal help. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help you recover compensation for your physical, emotional and financial losses.

What Are Some Common Medication Errors?

    • Prescribing or dispensing the wrong medication
    • Miscalculating the correct dosage
    • Prescribing medication the patient is allergic to or one that may interfere with another type of medication the patient is taking
    • Not warning about potential side effects the patient may suffer after taking the medication
    • Dispensing expired medication

Who May Be Liable for Injuries Caused by Medication Errors?

Your doctor isn’t the only healthcare professional capable of making a medication error. In fact, there are several parties who may be at fault, including:

    • Nurses: Nurses must administer the correct medication and dosage as ordered by a treating physician.
    • Pharmacists: A pharmacist may misinterpret your doctor’s prescription or make a mistake in dispensing the correct dosage. They may also mix up two or more prescriptions resulting in you getting the wrong medication.
    • Pharmaceutical companies: A pharmaceutical company may be liable for manufacturing and marketing an inherently dangerous drug or one with defects.
