Prescription errors are surprisingly common.
Medication-related mistakes made by medical professionals, such as prescription errors, may fall under the medical malpractice area of personal injury law.
When a doctor, hospital staff, pharmacist, nurse or other medical professional causes a prescription error, injury, illness, or even death are possible.
Whether the wrong dosage was administered, drugs were improperly combined, or there was an error made on the label relating to dosage, if negligence is indicated, it is advised that you seek out a qualified and experienced personal injury attorney or accident lawyer as soon as possible. These types of claims can hinge on a timely investigation.
If you or a loved one has suffered serious personal injury or death because of a prescription error, you have the right to pursue legal action against the health care professional, pharmacist, hospital, and/or pharmacy who caused the harm.
A qualified personal injury attorney can help you file a medical malpractice claim to seek compensation for the damages suffered including pain and anguish, medical expenses, lost income capacity, and more.
Medical malpractice claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which limits the amount of time a victim of a prescription error has to file a claim.
