Medication Mistakes

A medication mistake is the improper administration or management of a medication that causes a patient serious harm or death.  For example, giving a patient a blood-thinning drug such as Coumadin, but failing to monitor for adverse effects, is a medication mistake.

Medication errors happen more often than we know.  They often go unreported and can have traumatic consequences.  If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered injuries as a result of a medication error, Contact Us for an evaluation of your potential claims.
