 Malpractice claims involving medication administration errors, prescription mistakes, contaminated drugs or biologics causing patient death or serious disability are more common than one would think.

The legal team at Wallace Wason, PLLC is experienced in assessing these types of cases and providing a no-fee case evaluation based on your individual situation.  

Prescription and Medication Management Errors  

Prescription errors and mistakes in medication management which lead to permanent disability, severe injury or the need for long-term care or rehabilitation can indicate that a case of medical malpractice may have occurred.

As a basic rule, proper administration of medication by healthcare professionals requires ALL of the following elements to be correct:  

The right drug at the right dose to the right patient at the right interval/time at the right rate in the right preparation via the right route 

Medical personnel are responsible for checking each of these factors every time medication is given, but mistakes can and do happen. Poorly written prescriptions or confusing abbreviations or a doctor’s shorthand can lead to unintentional but damaging prescription mistakes. Preparations of drugs used in hospital could be expired or contaminated. A poorly inserted syringe that introduces an intravascular air embolism can be fatal. Even advanced medical equipment can deliver a seriously damaging or fatal dose of medication, if not properly monitored.
