Introduction. Medical malpractice does not happen only in a doctor's office or hospital emergency room. For more than 30 years, our firm has represented individuals who have been injured as a result of nursing and medication errors. Unfortunately, it's a tragedy that happens all too frequently. Every day nurses, and other health care professionals across the country commit acts of negligence that can result in serious and permanent injuries for the unfortunate patient. Whether it involves a pharmacist filling the wrong prescription, or a nurse's mistake resulting from her failure to properly read a patient's chart, medical malpractice in the U.S. results in millions of dollars of additional medical expenses for injured patients, and a lifetime of pain and suffering, both for the patient and for his or her loved ones.
Nursing Errors. Nursing mistakes can involve any of the following:
Dispensing wrong medication
ispensing wrong dose of medication
Giving a medication to the wrong patient
Failing to monitor patient's condition
Failing to follow physician's orders as to the care required
Performing medical procedures without proper training
Delaying vital care for hours
Injuries. The injuries that can result from nursing and medication errors are often worse than the underlying illness or condition that initially led the patient to seek medical assistance, and can involve permanently disabling, catastrophic and, sometimes, fatal conditions. As a result, if you are victimized by this type of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to substantial money damages, even in cases involving what may appear to involve only minor injuries.
