Medication Errors
September 20th, 2006Medications errors are one of the leading causes of death and serious injury. The primary causes for medications error are poor oversight, illegible handwriting, lack of communication, fatigue, and inadequate safeguards. Many errors occur when a patient is under the care of multiple doctors and is under multiple prescriptions being filled by multiple pharmacies. It is important that all the prescribing physicians are aware of the medications the patient is under to ensure that there are no contraindications. Over the last two years, the law firm has successfully settled claims for clients injured due to medication errors.
