  5. Pharmacy Malpractice: Understanding the Risks

Pharmacy Malpractice: Understanding the Risks

In today’s medically advanced society, there is a readily available form of medication for practically any type of illness. From the common cold to a persistent fungal infection, there is a wide array of prescription medications that a single pharmacy must keep track of. For this reason, it is no surprise that serious mistakes can occur.

Just like any other profession, pharmacists are not immune to the effects of working long hours and dealing with a large volume of clients every single day, but when their negligent actions lead to the harm of an unsuspecting victim, there is no excuse that can justify the damage that they have done.

The Whitley Advantage isn’t just one thing – it’s everything.

A single mistake can have serious consequences, as taking the wrong type of medication, or even the wrong dose, can cause severe internal complications. For this reason, it is important for everyone to understand the dangers that they may face when they trust in their local pharmacy to fill a necessary prescription.

Like any other facet of the healthcare system, pharmacists have taken on the responsibility of keeping their patients safe from preventable medical errors—which is also known as a “duty of care” in legal terms. When they fail to uphold this responsibility by acting negligently or carelessly, they could potentially be putting an innocent person’s life at risk.

This firm has always been about people and helping them.

Whether they have provided the incorrect dosage, improperly labeled a certain type of medication or altogether supplied the wrong prescription, the ramifications can range from mild to life-threatening. Although this is usually never done intentionally, a pharmacist can still be held accountable for making such a mistake under the law. Through a civil lawsuit, a negligently injured individual has the opportunity to pursue compensation for the harm that they have suffered—for both economic and non-economic damages.

We are committed to the highest quality client service and one-on-one attention.

As such, a victim can recover reimbursement for any medical treatment that they have received as a result of the pharmacist’s mistake, any permanent injuries that were sustained and any emotional losses that were suffered. If you have had the misfortune of becoming a victim of pharmacy malpractice, it is vital that you consult with a knowledgeable legal professional as soon as possible.

Your ability to recover rightful compensation dwindles every day that you do not take action, as a statute of limitations in the state may prohibit you from filing a lawsuit after a certain amount of time has elapsed, so you should not hesitate to explore your options immediately. By consulting with a Raleigh personal injury lawyer from the Whitley Law Firm today, you can get started on pursuing damages for the unnecessary harm that you have been forced to endure. Call today for additional information.
