Frequently Asked Questions about Medication Errors

I received the wrong medication or dosage – what should I do?

You should contact your physician immediately. If the physician is unavailable, go to the nearest emergency room and bring your medications with you. It is very important that you document your injuries, even if you do not feel very ill at the moment. Be sure and keep the prescription bottle as evidence and any packaging and/or receipts that came with it. You should also contact an experienced pharmacy error attorney in order to protect your rights.

How much will it cost me for your attorneys to investigate my claim?

Zero. We do not charge any money whatsoever to investigate claims. The initial consultation is also absolutely free. All the cases our firm handles are on a contingency fee basis. Put simply, if there is no recovery, you owe us nothing. We also advance the expenses associated with the case, like filing fees, postage, depositions, expert witness fees, etc. If for some reason we do not recover any money for you, you do not have to pay back the expenses that were advanced.

What is my case worth?

Each case is unique and the recovery varies from case to case. However, Kennedy Hodges, LLP has been able to collect recoveries even when the injuries were minimal. We do not limit our practice to only those who suffer catastrophic injuries from pharmacy errors. The best way to determine the value of your case is to give us a call to start your free case review.

Do I really need a lawyer?

The job of the pharmacy adjuster or insurance company adjuster is to do everything they can to avoid paying a claim. This may include discouraging you from hiring a lawyer until it is too late to file a suit. At that point, they may deny your claim and there is nothing you or an attorney can do. Alternatively, if they are willing to settle the claim, the adjuster’s job is to pay as little as possible. An attorney will insure that your claim is filed timely and that you receive maximum compensation.

How do I know if I have a case?

If you have been injured in any way from a pharmacy error, Kennedy Law Firm, LLP believes you likely have a case. We have handled all types of pharmacy error cases, including ones where little injury was suffered and ones where death occurred. If you give us a call or email us, chances are good that we will take your case.
