Read about our verdicts and settlement in medical malpractice cases.
There are generally three types of medication errors:
- Too much medication: If a nurse or pharmacist gives you an accidental overdose, the results can be liver failure, kidney failure, respiratory depression or death.
- The wrong medication: When the wrong medication is administered, patients are harmed twice: first, for possible reactions to the wrong medicine; and second, for not receiving the actual medication they need.
- Improper timing of medication: Patients depend on health care providers to dispense medication on time. When providers fail to do so, complications can occur, especially when patients have conditions such as diabetes.
