Harmed by a Prescription Error?
Hospitals and pharmacies are busy places where hundreds or thousands of medication orders can be dispensed or filled within a single day. That said — preventing mistakes only takes a few seconds. Our firm holds medical providers accountable for:
- Contraindicated prescription errors
- Pharmacy prescription errors
- Medication mistakes made by nursing staff
- Overmedication (using too much medication in order to control a patient, often seen in abusive nursing homes)
Injured as the Result of a Surgical Mistake?
Surgery always has its risks. However, if normal standards of care are followed by the surgical team and the surgeon(s) involved — these risks can be managed. If not, serious and irreparable harm may result. Our practice includes:
- Operating on the wrong part of the body
- Failing to detect leaks or hemorrhages
- Leaving surgical implements in the body
- Using tainted human blood or tissue
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Infections caused by a non-sterile environment or instruments
