You may have the right to recover significant financial compensation to deal with your injuries, inability to work, loss of a loved one or other damages. Pursuing your case may also expose negligence by a pharmacist, technician or another professional who is putting many others in the community at substantial risk. Serious prescription medication mistakes that may be actionable include:

• Prescribing the wrong dose of a drug, causing overdose
• Dispensing the wrong drug altogether, exposing a patient to that drug’s side effects as well as delaying treatment for his or her actual condition
• Mislabeling a prescription drug bottle, which can result in an overdose or drug interaction
• Filling multiple prescriptions for a patient without warning of dangerous drug interactions that can cause harm or death

Just as medical malpractice cases, the consequences of pharmacy errors vary widely – from serious illness or injury to dramatic worsening of an existing condition or even a tragic wrongful death. Across the United States, many cases have been brought against large pharmacy chain corporations, raising awareness of this serious problem.
