Medication Errors

Have you suffered injury or illness due to a medication error? A Seattle medical malpractice lawyer at our firm may be able to help you.

Medication errors are among the most common forms of medical malpractice, and these can occur at the hospital, medical office or pharmacy – anywhere where medications are prescribed and administered. Administering the wrong medication or the correct medicine but in the wrong dosage amount can have disastrous consequences. The wrong medication can have the opposite affect that a medication should have, causing serious illness or even permanent injury. A medicine administered in the wrong amount can lead to injury or even death.

Medication Errors and Malpractice Claims in Seattle, Washington

A doctor, nurse or pharmacist may unintentionally harm a patient by prescribing or administering a prescription drug that the patient has known allergies to, may accidentally pick up the wrong medicine off the shelf, may incorrectly read a doctor’s handwriting and prescribe the wrong drug, may unintentionally administer a prescription which will harm the patient due to a preexisting medical condition, or may administer a medication that will adversely react to a different medication already administered.

Whatever the specific situation and whatever error or negligence led to the medication error that caused your illness or injury, you will need an attorney on your side to assert your rights and protect your interests by filing a medical malpractice claim on your behalf. You can hold the responsible party liable for their actions and may be able to collect compensation to pay for medical expenses, lost wages and more.
