Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I do if I received the wrong medication or dosage?
  You should contact your physician immediately. If the physician is unavailable, go to the nearest emergency room and bring your medications with you. It is very important that you document your injuries, even if you do not feel very ill at the moment. Be sure and keep the prescription bottle as evidence and any packaging and/or receipts that came with it. You should also contact an experienced pharmacy error attorney in order to protect your rights.

• How much will it cost me to hire Kennedy Hodges, L.L.P. to represent me?
  All the cases Kennedy Hodges takes on are handled on a contingency fee basis. We get paid a percentage of the recovery we achieve for you. We do not get paid unless we recover money for you. Kennedy Hodges also advances the expenses associated with the case such as filing fees, postage, long distance, depositions, expert witness fees, etc. If for some reason we do not recover any money for you, you do not have to pay back the expenses that were advanced. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing.
• Do I really need a lawyer?
  The job of the pharmacy adjuster or insurance company adjuster is to do everything they can to avoid paying a claim. This may include discouraging you from hiring a lawyer until it is too late to file a suit. At that point, they may deny your claim and there is nothing you or an attorney can do. Alternatively, if they are willing to settle the claim, the adjuster’s job is to pay as little as possible. An attorney will insure that your claim is timely filed and that you receive maximum compensation.
• What is my case worth?
  Each case is unique and the recovery varies from case to case. However, Kennedy Hodges, LLP has been able to collect money from pharmacies even when the injuries are minimal.
