Pharmacy Negligence

Much like medical malpractice, you or a loved one may have been injured by the negligence of a pharmacy. Unfortunately, errors are made by pharmacists when filling prescriptions for patients, which can lead to serious medical problems and death. These errors can include providing the improper dosage of a certain medication to a patient. The most common theme that we have seen is when a pharmacy gives the totally wrong medicine to its patient.

Pharmacists owe its patients a high duty of care. They must provide the exact type and quantity of medication that was ordered by the physician. If not, more medical problems can occur for which the pharmacist can be held liable.

If you believe that a pharmacy error has occurred and that error has caused or contributed to serious injury or illness, you should seek legal counsel immediately to discuss your rights. As with other negligent claims, there is a 2 year statute of limitation for these types of claims. Therefore, it is important that legal counsel be contacted as early on in the process as possible, so that your right to recovery can be pursued properly.
