Attorneys for injuries from medical devices, prescription errors, and drugs

Medication errors occur involving medical professionals when both non-prescription and prescription drugs are given to patients. The physician is required to have knowledge about medications being prescribed. A pharmacist is responsible for dispensing the correct drugs in the correct doses. Nurses must have knowledge about medications to properly identify dangerous drug combinations or inaccurate prescriptions.

Common types of errors involving medication include:

• Drug order miscommunication (confusion over drugs with similar names, confusion involving prescription labeling)
• Lack of proper information on drugs
• Inappropriate package labeling
• Incomplete collection of patient information

Sometimes, the prescription medication or medical device may itself be to blame. If a supplement or a pill you take proves to be defective, a client can be severely injured. Manufacturers of drugs, medical devices and supplements may be held legally responsible. This responsibility includes the duty to exercise what is referred to as reasonable care in the manufacture, design, inspection, and labeling of the product. Proving that the manufacturer of drug supplements is legally responsible for a product which is defective can be expensive as well as complicated. Contact Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC should you suspect that prescription errors or a medication-related personal injury may have occurred.Sometimes, the prescription medication or medical device may itself be to blame.
