Medication Errors

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

A medication error is a type of mistake that is made by medical professionals who incorrectly administer medications.  Medication errors may result from:  incorrect dosages, administering wrong drugs, administering medication to the wrong patient, administering medications at the wrong time or intervals, failing to prescribe a needed medication or failing to administer needed medications.

Medication errors can be lethal and are commonly made my pharmacists, physicians, nurses and hospital staff members who are left to care for patients.  Once a medication error is made, patients may develop complications, painful symptoms or injuries.  In some cases, medication errors can even lead to a patient being wrongfully killed.  Therefore, it is extremely important that all medical professionals are careful when prescribing or administering medications to patients.  If they are reckless or negligent while dealing with medications, they may cause patients irreversible harm.
