Type of Pharmaceutical Errors
Most pharmaceutical errors fall into one of five categories, most of which can be traced back to doctor, pharmacist, or pharmaceutical company negligence. These categories are:
- Drug Side Effects
- Incorrect Labeling
- Incorrect Dosage
- Incorrect Prescription
- Drug Interactions and Complications
Each of these errors is avoidable, making pharmaceutical errors an egregious form of medical malpractice. While the pharmacist seems like the obvious culprit in these cases, this is not always the case. A doctor may have written the incorrect prescription, or a pharmacy technician may have made an error.
Regardless of who is at fault, victims of pharmaceutical errors should exercise their right to seek financial compensation for their injuries. Recovering from a pharmaceutical error can be painful and will likely require further medical treatment and subsequent medical bills. You should not have to pay for these expenses when your suffering was caused by someone else. A successful pharmacy errors lawsuit can help you secure the compensation you deserve for your medication error.
