What is a prescription error? This term refers to a mistake or act of negligence in regard to a prescription. This may occur if a doctor makes a mistake in writing down the drug or dosage amount, or if the pharmacy dispenses the wrong drug. In any case, a prescription error may lead to serious injury or even death. Although prescription drugs have innumerable benefits and help to save thousands of patient's lives every year, the wrong prescription or the right prescription in the wrong amount may have the opposite effect.
Victim of a Prescription Error? Contact an Attorney Today!
If you believe that you have been the victim of a prescription error, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately. You may be at risk of serious physical injury, but if the medication is quickly identified it may be treatable. It is also advisable to consult with an attorney about your case. You may have grounds for a civil lawsuit against the doctor or pharmacy - or perhaps the drug company - for your injuries, meaning you may be able to recover financial compensation that will help you with medical bills and lost wages, as well as compensate you for any emotional trauma or related issues caused by your injuries.
