If you have been harmed related to a pharmacy error, you might be wondering how your accident came to pass. It can be very bewildering to consider if you want to engage a lawyer and seek compensation for your injuries. This is particularly true if you are struggling with long-term health concerns related to your accident.
Every pharmacist has a duty of care to their patients that requires that they make sure that they offer counsel for new medications, provide the right medication to patients, and check for any drug interactions or other risks related to the prescribed medication.
If you are wondering if your pharmacy accident related to taking the wrong dose of a medication is something that you can seek compensation for, the answer to that question is a little complex.
Pharmacy negligence takes place when a pharmacist does not notice that someone is on a contraindicated medication, when the pharmacist does not provide counsel or if the wrong medication is given to a patient. If you have been harmed by taking the wrong dose of a medication, this might also be an example of pharmacy negligence.
If you have taken the wrong dose of a medication because the label on the bottle said to take that dose, this could be an example of medical malpractice. If you have been told via verbal counsel with your pharmacist that you should take the dose in question, this might also be medical malpractice.
If you have made an error related to a lack of attention to detail or because you did not read the label on your medication, this is likely not medical malpractice.
