Tempe Medication Error Attorney
Medication Errors
An error in prescribing or administering medication can cause disastrous effects for a patient. They can sometimes be life-threatening, sometimes cause long-term or permanent effects, and tragically at times result in death. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to a medication error on behalf of a medical professional, a Tempe personal injury lawyer can assist you in understanding your rights and legal options.
Medication errors can occur in a variety of circumstances and manifestations, some of which include:
- Misjudged dosages, either in prescription or administration, resulting in overmedicating or under-medicating
- Prescribing or administering a medication not intended for treatment of the patient's ailment
- Prescribing or administering a medication to which the patient has a dangerous reaction
- Selling, prescribing or administering a drug with harmful and severe side effects without warning the patient of such
- Incorrectly preparing a medication or supplying the incorrect medication
