Prescription Drug Errors

Malpractice Injury Attorneys Serving Atlanta, Alpharetta and All Georgia

The Washington Post reported on a study conducted by the Institute of Medicine that found that at least 1.5 million Americans are injured, sickened, or killed every year by errors in dispensing, prescribing, and taking medications. Unfortunately, these prescription drug errors can lead to severe, life-threatening consequences and death.

Patients have the right to expect that their healthcare providers will be careful and prudent in prescribing medications. They also have the right to assume that pharmacists will provide them with the appropriate medications as indicated on the prescriptions as well as the correct doses. However, doctors may carelessly prescribe a medication that ultimately hurts patients instead of helping them.

If you or someone you love has been injured due to a prescription drug error, you may be entitled to take legal action against the doctors who allegedly caused you harm. A Georgia medical malpractice attorney can help you to pursue a claim to recover the damages to which you may be entitled for emotional distress, lost time from work, medical bills, pain and suffering, or wrongful death if the prescription caused a fatal reaction.

Why a Prescription Drug Error Attorney Is Important

While the consequences of a prescription drug error will depend upon the dose, the type of drug administered, and the patient’s overall health, there is almost always some type of adverse result when a prescription drug error is made. If you have suffered from any type of injury, damage, or loss as a result of a medication mistake such as requiring additional medical treatment or experiencing pain, you may be entitled to recover damages for your condition.

A Georgia medical malpractice attorney can review your case and help you to determine if you are entitled to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the responsible healthcare provider or physician. If you are eligible to file a lawsuit, the medical malpractice attorney with whom you work can help you to gather the evidence that you need to prove that the healthcare provider is responsible and should be held accountable for your injury. While you may consider pursuing a claim without legal representation, it is often advisable that you retain counsel who can help you to prove the extent of your damages, speak to medical experts on your behalf, interview witnesses, and work to help you to seek the compensation to which you may be entitled.
