Can I file a lawsuit against the pharmacy for a dosage error that led to my injury and hospital stay?

 

A:

It sounds like you should be able to, but, in order for us to give you a definite answer, we would have to discuss your potential medication error lawsuit further to review your case details. In order to file a prescription or medication error lawsuit, there are a couple of factors that you would need to prove in your case. These points include:

  • That a medication error, pharmacy dosage error, or other prescription error actually occurred 
  • That the prescription error caused your injury
  • That the medication mistake was caused by a pharmacist’s medical negligence

In order to prove these facts, it is in your best interest to talk with a drug error attorney as soon as possible to make sure you are protecting your rights, preserving evidence, gathering the supporting documents, and doing everything right to make sure that you can establish the above facts to prove your case.

A lawyer experienced in pharmaceutical error cases can help you establish a strong case and collect the damages you deserve. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, prescription medications, out-of-pocket expenses, lost income, and more. 

When pharmacy negligence occurs that causes you injuries, the pharmacist should be held accountable for his or her actions. Sometimes dosage errors occur because a pharmacist wasn’t paying attention, was tired, was too busy, or was interrupted. No matter the excuse, pharmacists are supposed to prepare medication safely and with care.
