Medication Errors

Medication errors happen when a healthcare provider prescribes or administers the wrong medication, dosage, or fails to account for potential drug interactions. This can result in harm to the patient. These errors can occur in hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, and clinics. In Florida, under §95.11(5) you have 2 years from the date the error was discovered or should have been discovered with due diligence. This period can extend up to 4 years from the date of the incident, but not later than.

Who Should Consider Filing a Claim and Why Legal Representation Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Individuals who have suffered harm as a result of a medication error like incorrect medication, dosage errors, or improper instructions. This includes patients who have experienced adverse drug reactions, allergic reactions, or other complications due to incorrect medication administration, dosage, or prescription. Families of patients who died due to medication errors should consider filing a claim.
• Consequences Without Representation: You may face the complexities of medical malpractice laws, including strict filing deadlines, and may struggle to gather evidence or secure expert testimony. Without an experienced attorney, it can be hard to prove fault, negotiate with insurers, or understand the full value of potential compensation, which may result in lower settlements or unsuccessful claims.
