Toledo Medication Error Attorney

Ohio Pharmacy Negligence Lawyer

Prescribing physicians, pharmacists, and nursing staff all share the responsibility to properly treat patients with prescription medications. Sometimes the staff at a hospital, nursing home, or residential healthcare facility commit serious medication errors that can harm the very people they are supposed to protect.

Medication errors can have devastating effects, including brain damage, nerve damage, kidney damage, or liver damage. If you believe that you or a family member was seriously injured or a loved one died as a result of receiving the wrong prescription or an overdose, contact our Ohio law firm.

Medication errors can vary from errors committed by the doctor or nurse to errors committed by the pharmacy responsible for filling the prescription. At the Law Offices of Gary Osborne & Associates, we conduct thorough investigations regarding all types of medication or prescription errors:

• Prescribing the wrong drug or the wrong dose
• Filling a prescription incorrectly with the wrong drug at the pharmacy
• Failing to clarify allergies or reactions when combined with other medications
• Prescribing an improper dose of a drug
• Misfilling the dose and other dosage errors (overdose or inadequate dose)
• Administering too much anesthesia (anesthesia overdose)
• Failure to warn patient of dangerous interactions or possible side effects of prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs
• Other medicine mistakes, drug errors and pharmacy negligence

Legal Help for Ohio Victims of Medication Errors or Pharmacy Mistakes

Many clients come to the Law Offices of Gary Osborne & Associates in search of answers to why a medication error occurred. They are more interested in holding doctors and nursing personnel accountable than they are in the idea of obtaining financial compensation. In fact, part of a successful medical malpractice claim or lawsuit is often the requirement of a documented action plan by a healthcare institution to put systems in place to prevent future medication errors.

At the same time, injured clients and their families often have very real financial needs as a result of serious medication errors. Medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, long-term care, and in some cases, funeral expenses and loss of income may threaten to bankrupt a family. Family members may experience extraordinary grief and suffering as a result of their loved one's unnecessary death.
