Were You Given the Wrong Medication or Dosage?

What Is Considered a Medication Error Under Indiana Law?

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Medication Error?

Liability depends on who failed to meet their professional duty during your care. In Indiana, several providers may be responsible for a medication mistake, including:

  • Doctors who prescribe the wrong medication or dose.
  • Nurses who administer drugs without proper checks.
  • Pharmacists who fill or label prescriptions incorrectly.
  • Hospitals or clinics that neglect safety procedures or oversight.

Our legal team investigates every step of your treatment to determine where the failure occurred and who may be held accountable.

Common Injuries Caused by Medication Errors

Medication errors can lead to serious, long-term health complications. Some of the most common include:

A sudden drop or spike in medication can disrupt blood flow to the brain, often resulting in long-term disability.

Organ damage:

Overdoses or toxic drug interactions can harm the liver, kidneys, or heart.

Undocumented allergies or ignored warnings can trigger dangerous, even life-threatening reactions.

Lack of oxygen, toxic effects, or seizures from medication errors can cause cognitive damage.

Fatal complications:

In the most serious cases, preventable medication errors can lead to loss of life.

When these injuries occur, we help patients and families hold negligent providers accountable and pursue the compensation they deserve.
