Malpractice cases always hinge on a determination that negligence was involved in the accident that caused harm to another person. There are mistakes that are not considered to be negligence and defining the difference between the two takes a careful investigation into the situation that led to the prescription error itself.
As the victim of a prescription error, you probably feel like it should be obvious who was to blame for the accident which harmed your health, but the situation can be complicated because there are so many people who are involved in the prescription process.
If you have been injured due to a prescription error, here are some things that you should know.
This kind of error occurs when the wrong medicine, the wrong dosage, or the wrong instructions are given to a patient. This can lead to significant harm, and even death. While these kinds of accidents are not common, human error or a lack of attention and care leads to patient injury every year.
These errors might stem from the doctor’s office writing the wrong prescription information down when the medications are ordered, or it can be the result of a lack of care at the pharmacy itself. Drug interactions, allergic reactions and other patient-specific factors can be missed in some cases by the pharmacist, or the person filling the request.
There are four factors that must be considered when trying to establish malpractice. These factors will all need to be present in malpractice cases.
