Overdose of Medication Injuries
Contact a Medical Malpractice Firm That Has Achieved Multiple Eight-Figure Settlements
In- and out-patient individuals receiving professional medical treatment are usually too sick to fully participate in their care. They need and deserve to rely on healthcare providers to conscientiously avoid medication errors that result in overmedication.
Medication errors, though, do occur, usually in instances involving:
- Pharmacists' inability to read a doctor's handwriting
- Numerical and punctuation errors (for instance, prescribing 10 milligrams of a medication instead of 1.0 milligrams, or providing 100 milligrams instead)
- Doctors' failure to understand proper medication amounts, medications' effects, patients' drug allergies and patients' medication histories

A Recent Case Illustrates Our Effectiveness in Handling Medication Error Cases
