About Medication Errors in Los Angeles
A medication error can have deadly results. Prescription drugs and all other medications are meant to help a patient recover, prevent infection, or perform some other function that enables a medical procedure to be performed. When administered properly and with care, medication can make all the difference in a patient's survival. When a doctor, pharmacist or any other medical professional is negligent in prescribing or administering medication, however, the results may be catastrophic.
Following are some examples of medication errors:
- Administering the wrong medication
- Administering the right medication but the wrong dosage amount
- Administering a medication to which the patient has a known allergy
- Administering a medication that will react violently to another medication that the patient has already taken or been prescribed
A medication error may be committed by a doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, pharmacy, hospital or pharmacists. A drug company may be held liable in some cases for defective or dangerous drugs, or improper warning labels or instructions. By reviewing your unique case and investigating the matter, our team can determine against whom your claim may be filed.
