Effectively Addressing All Types of Errors

We provide experienced legal representation for people who have been injured as the result of mistakes related to medication. These injuries may arise as the result of a wide range of errors.

• Doctors may not advise clients of drug interactions, or may prescribe medications without considering other medications a patient is taking. Doctors may prescribe incorrect dosages, causing the medications to be harmful rather than helpful.



• Pharmacists may fail to advise clients of the proper dosage or practices for taking medications. Pharmacists may misinterpret a doctor's handwriting, thereby offering a patient the wrong prescription drug.



• Hospitals may not administer the proper dosage of drugs, or may mistakenly confuse one patient's intended medication with that of another patient.



• Nursing home negligence is another common cause of prescription drug errors. Nursing homes are often understaffed, and the employees may be overworked or undertrained. Staff responsible for administering medication may not understand drug interactions, or may provide prescription drugs without adequate supervision.
