Medication Error Lawyers

Medication Error Lawyers

Medical Malpractice Law

When prescribed and administered correctly, modern medicine can do wonders to treat and heal various ailments, diseases, and other medical issues. However, when the proper steps and procedures are not followed, or the medical practitioner responsible for your treatment acts carelessly and the wrong type of drug or the wrong dosage is given to a patient, it can have severe, even deadly consequences. When this happens, the people or institutions in charge may be held legally and financially responsible for your losses.

Medication Error Lawyers

If you or someone you love was injured or killed due to incorrect dosage or a wrongfully-prescribed drug, you have the right to hold the responsible party liable, and you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Rutter Mills today and speak with a knowledgeable lawyer who is experienced in medication error lawsuits.

Who may be at fault for medication errors?

There are a lot of people involved when it comes to the administration of a prescription drug. Those responsible can vary between doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and pharmacists to entire hospitals, drug companies, and other medical networks. Your medication error lawyer from Rutter Mills will help you determine which party or parties may be to blame for your drug-related injuries.

Grounds for medication error lawsuits include:

Receiving a prescription for the wrong type of drug
Having the wrong drug or dosage administered to you
The wrong method of drug administration (injection versus pill, etc.)
Failure to inform the patient about all potential risks of a medication
Being prescribed or administered a drug that has known reactions to any current medications being taken by the patient
Receiving drugs that are harmful or incorrectly made

Poor communication, failure to follow procedures and protocols, or other acts of negligence may be grounds for medical malpractice lawsuits. Do you believe that your injury was the result of medical malpractice medication errors? Whatever your situation is, we’ll help you determine if you have a case and advise you as to the extent of the damages you may be entitled to.

Thoroughly determining not only the immediate cost of damages incurred due to medication errors but also calculating the future and potentially life-long financial impact of the incident will help to ensure you and your family are fairly compensated for all of your losses.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

The cost of current and ongoing medical care needs
Lost wages due to missed workdays or loss of job
Medical equipment and other things needed to improve the quality of life following a severe injury or disability
Pain and suffering
Funeral and memorial costs
Role-related costs such as childcare, elderly care, or other important tasks that the injured or deceased party can no longer perform

I can't praise Rutter Mills law firm enough Catherine Foster is not only a great paralegal handling my lawsuit with my lawyer Dan Dallia I truly consider her like family.So many times I was depressed and in pain and she would talk me through it encouraging me to be strong.She is also going through a lot like myself and completely understands and is able to show compassion a fully healthy healthy person couldn't.The discovery she provided me amazed me,and was so thorough very professional.I consider her my friend for life!

Attorney Dan Delalla and Team were awesome!! Nateisha stayed in constant contact l. They explained the process step by step. To top it off we had a family member to pass in a car wreck by a drunk driver during this time the team thought enough to send flowers. I highly recommend Rutter Mills

Danielle E.

I came to Rutter Mills during one of the most difficult and terrifying times in my life. Mr. Young and his assistant Kathy Saunders were so welcoming and understanding. They worked diligently to handle my case. It is by no means a quick and easy process, however these two make the wait worth it. I hope you never find yourself in my shoes but if you do I highly recommend these two to help you along your process.
