New York Injury and Accident Attorney
Prescription Errors
Prescription errors happen on a daily basis in New York. The results are often severe illness, injury, and even death. Of all forms of medical malpractice, prescription errors are most common. In fact, around 7,000 deaths each year in this country are a direct result of errors made by prescribing doctors and pharmacies. Approximately 100,000 individuals are victims of prescription errors annually, and if you are one of them you may have the right to be reimbursed for your suffering.
There are several ways prescription errors can happen. These include prescribing too high a dose of medication, doctors not accurately assessing their patient’s needs based on their physical conditions (including allergies), and pharmacies simply reading prescriptions wrong.
