Prescription and medication errors represent serious breaches of medical standards that can cause significant patient harm:
- Prescribing the wrong medication or incorrect dosage
- Failing to check for dangerous drug interactions
- Overlooking drug allergies documented in medical records
- Providing inadequate instructions for appropriate follow-up care
- Pharmacy dispensing errors
These cases require expert testimony from physicians or pharmacologists to establish how prescribing standards were violated and prove causation between the error and your injuries.
