Call our office today at 312-638-2407 for the experienced counsel your claim demands.

How Do Medication Errors Happen?

Medical malpractice involving medication errors can originate from negligence at a variety of different stages between the production of a drug and consumption by the patient. Often, liability for these mistakes can involve:

  • Pharmaceutical companies: For defects in manufacturing or marketing a drug to treatment for conditions not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
  • Doctors: For prescribing an inappropriate drug, a drug that will react with other medications a patient is taking or the wrong dosage of a drug, or for continuing to prescribe the drug for too long a time
  • Pharmacies: For dispensing the wrong drug or the wrong dosage of a drug
  • Nurses or other medical professionals: For administering the wrong drug, the wrong dosage of a drug or the correct drug at the wrong time

For many individuals, injuries due to medication errors could have been prevented by compliance with the standards set by the medical industry. Often, errors are attributable to miscommunication, distractions, haste, mistakes in a patient’s chart or insufficient warning labels on medications.
