Tampa-St. Petersburg Plaintiffs' Attorneys
Providing Help for Victims of Prescription Medication Errors
Medicines are presumed to be therapeutic and curative when used as designed and directed. When medication instead causes injury, illness or death, questions arise as to who, if anyone, is to blame — in other words, if negligence was involved. Pharmaceutically-induced injury or fatality can often be traced to prescription errors originating with one or more of the following sources:
- The drug manufacturer
- The prescribing physician
- The pharmacy or pharmacist
- An administrator of medication such as hospital staff
At the law offices of Morgenstern & Herd, P.A., experienced lawyers represent clients who have been harmed through medication mistakes such as the following:
- Physicians prescribed medications that interacted with other medications the patient was taking at the same time.
- A pharmacy failed to identify, warn and protect a patient from an expected drug interaction risk.
- A manufacturer or pharmacist failed to adequately instruct patients on how to take a drug safely.
- A physician prescribed, or a pharmacist delivered, wrong amounts of a drug or wrong drugs altogether.
If you were adversely affected as a result of a pharmaceutical mistake of this type, you may be entitled to compensation for resulting medical treatment costs, replacement of lost wages when you had to stay home from work and acknowledgement of pain and suffering that you endured.
