Portland Pharmacy Malpractice Lawyers

Pharmacy Errors and Medical Malpractice

Receiving the wrong prescription or a medicine in the wrong dosage amount may result in serious injury, illness, organ damage and even death. Pharmacy malpractice accounts for many medication errors throughout the U.S. When a pharmacist makes a mistake in filling or refilling a prescription, the person who is prescribed the drug will have no idea that the medicine they are taking will likely cause them harm.

A pharmacist has an obligation to read prescriptions and fill and refill these with care. If a doctor’s handwriting is hard to read, the pharmacist should clarify what it says rather than guess and possibly administer the wrong drug or give it to the patient in the wrong dosage amount. When a pharmacist is negligent, this can have serious consequences.

An attorney can help you by evaluating your particular claim to determine what amount of compensation you may be able to receive and then filing a lawsuit to pursue this in court. If it is possible to reach a settlement out of court, an attorney will usually attempt to do so in order to avoid the time and expense of court proceedings. However, this will depend upon your particular situation and thus it is important to discuss your case directly with an attorney who can answer your questions and address your concerns.
