Indiana Medication Errors Lawyers

A medication error is defined by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) as “any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer.”

Anyone involved in the prescribing of medication can be held liable if it is determined that negligence led to a patient’s injury or death. Understanding liability in medication error cases can be complex. In addition to healthcare professionals, liability may extend to pharmacies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, or even manufacturers of defective drugs. Our experienced lawyers thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.

Examples of medication errors that can lead to injury include:

•  Administering wrong medication or dosage
•  Mislabeled medication
•  Failing to account for allergies and interactions when prescribing medication
•  Failing to warn of possible side effects (a communication error)

If you were harmed in a hospital, clinic, or pharmacy, our Indiana medication error lawyers can identify who’s at fault and fight for the compensation you deserve. Some cases may involve drug manufacturers if the medication was defective or mislabeled.
