Health care providers use an array of powerful medications to treat serious injuries and illnesses. And while these drugs are often essential to curing ailments or improving a patient’s quality of life, they can and often do come with risks.

Unfortunately, health care providers don’t always uphold the standard of care when using medications to treat their patients. If a doctor or other provider erred in some way when prescribing or administering medications and patients suffer harm, they can be held liable for medical malpractice.

Medical Error Lawsuits: When is a Mistake Malpractice?

When you suffer injury or worsening of your illness due to a medication error, the doctor who prescribed this medication should be held responsible for their mistake.

If you or a loved one suffered due to a medication error, you may have options for legal action, and our attorneys can help you determine your best course of action in your medical malpractice suit.

A medication error can include any of the following:

• Prescribing the wrong medication for the illness or condition
• Prescribing/administering the wrong dosage
• Prescribing/administering a medication that the patient is allergic to
• Prescribing/administering a medication that does not react well with other medications the patient is taking
• Administering medication to the wrong patient
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to treat infections with medication

We rely on our doctors to uphold the standard of care when prescribing and administering medications. When their substandard care causes harm, victims have the right to take action.
