Prescription Errors Aggressive & Honest Representation

Weston Prescription Error Attorney

Leverage 30+ Years of Experience for Your Case

Prescription drugs can have severe side effects and when an error occurs involving patient medication, severe injuries can result. The health care process can be extremely complex and an error can occur at any point. A doctor can prescribe the wrong drug that you could be allergic to, a pharmacist can make an error when dispensing medication, and a health care worker may administer the wrong dose of a drug. When a patient visits a hospital for medical care, the last thing they want is to suffer further injuries.

If you or a loved one have suffered injuries due to a prescription error, you should not be made to pay more than you already have. Our Weston prescription error attorneys have years of experience helping patients who have been injured due to errors in administration or prescription of medication by health care professionals. At Rash Mueller, we can help you to fight for legal compensation so you can focus on recovery.

Damages for which you may be able to collect monetary compensation include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Initial hospitalization costs
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Lost earnings or reduced earning potential
  • Reduction in quality of life

Steps to File a Medical Malpractice Claim

Health care workers have a duty to their patients to provide care and not take actions which can be reasonably foreseen to result in injury. When an injury does occur due to the negligence of a health care worker or a hospital mistake, the patient may be able to claim legal compensation. Not every medical action will result in a malpractice suit and in order to prove that a prescription error occurred, several factors must be present.

  1. Legal medical relationship: This means that you must have legally hired the doctor or medical organization to provide you with medical treatment. Unsolicited medical advice may not constitute a claim.
  2. Negligent action: A doctor, nurse, or another healthcare provider must have performed a negligent action. For example, if a doctor overlooks a medical history and prescribes a drug which reacts negatively to a current treatment, the doctor may be found liable for a negligent action.
  3. Your injury was caused by the negligent action: For a prescription error claim to be successful, the negligent action in question must have been directly responsible for your injury. If no injuries were suffered, the act of an incorrect prescription alone may not be enough to constitute a claim.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the common causes of prescription errors in Weston?

Prescription errors can arise from various factors, including miscommunication between healthcare providers, incorrect patient information, or even technical issues within pharmacy systems. In Weston, where healthcare facilities like Cleveland Clinic Florida Weston serve the community, it's crucial to understand that despite their reputation, errors can still occur.

Identifying a prescription error can be challenging, but there are key signs to look for. If you experience unexpected side effects, worsening symptoms, or reactions that you weren't informed about, it may indicate an error. Additionally, if your medication does not align with your medical history or if you notice discrepancies in the dosage or instructions, these could be red flags.

What steps should I take if I suspect a prescription error?

      "Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, & was straightforward with all detail!"
      When I say..you’ve reached the right people..ur lucky to be in contact with them!! Although they couldn’t help me with my case. Leading up to the decision Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, and was straightforward with all detail! Lori told me more than my own doctors or the hospital did. I have closure because of HER!

I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, they listen, and they put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!

      "I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, & 'got my back' attitude."
      From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.

      "Jeff & David are very compassionate, kind & won't let you down."
      I never thought that anything would ever happen to me that would lead me to post a review about this law office. Unfortunately, I was wrong and what happened was completely unimaginable so much so that police didn’t believe it at first. I was so confused and lost because it seemed that no one believed me. I googled malpractice in Florida and this was one of the offices that popped up. I called and spoke with Lori, the paralegal, and told her everything she believed me and Jeff and David did too. Due to what happened this wasn’t going to just be a civil lawsuit but a criminal one as well. They were a huge help in working with the police to get items that would prove my criminal case and would lead to felony arrest and jail time. They were there to talk to me all throughout the criminal case. Especially, Lori she truly cared and when I was all alone feeling that I wasn’t strong enough to get through this she was always there with good and caring advice. I was with this law firm for the past 3 years and Jeff and David are very compassionate and kind. From the attorneys to the paralegal they worked very hard and did so much that they have changed my life. If you are looking for an attorney office with experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff. I promise they won’t let you down.
