Medication errors account for more than 1.3 million injuries and nearly 100,000 deaths each year. Moreover, as the pharmaceutical industry continues to grow, these numbers will likely increase. Americans have become more reliant on prescription medication, and the people charged with administering and controlling these medicines have a responsibility to ensure that people are receiving correct doses of the correct medications. Many medicines have similar names with vastly different effects. As pharmacists are more educated in the potential dangers involved, they must be accountable when their mistakes cause injuries.

Our pharmacy malpractice attorneys have successfully litigated cases against most of the major pharmaceutical chains for many of the errors pharmacies make in filling prescriptions, such as:

• Dispensing incorrect medication
• Incorrect dosages
• Illegible prescriptions
• Overworked pharmacists
• Under-qualified personnel
• Mislabeled bottles

Pharmacy malpractice cases require an understanding of pharmacology and the complexities of drugs, including the adverse effects of taking them incorrectly.
