Holding Florida Pharmacists Liable for Prescription Mistakes

Pharmacists are licensed medical professionals with specific training in the potential harm if medicines are taken incorrectly. They can be held accountable for monetary damages if their mistakes in dispensing medications and advising customers results in serious injury or death.

Dolan Law Firm of Miami, Florida has secured notable settlements and verdicts in actions against pharmacists for the devastating effects of not receiving the right medication in the right dosage. We can represent pharmacy error victims and throughout Southern Florida and Central Florida.

Most modern pharmacies have computerized systems for validating the prescription and dose, including known contraindications. A conscientious pharmacist will also double-check with the doctor or hospital if there are any red flags. When pharmacists fail to use these safeguards for patient safety, the results can lead to permanent or life-threatening injury.

Pharmacist Error

Dolan Law Firm investigates to hold pharmacists accountable for their devastating or deadly mistakes:

• Providing the wrong dose or wrong instructions
• Confusing similar-sounding medications
• Putting the wrong pills in the correctly labeled bottle
• Misreading a doctor's writing (resulting in the wrong drug)
• Failing to account for harmful interactions with other drugs

If the doctor wrote the wrong prescription, but the pharmacist failed to notice an obvious error and check with the physician, the victim may have both a medical malpractice and pharmacy malpractice claim.

We also have handled front counter packaging mix-ups in which patients unwittingly suffer injury by taking someone else's medications. Whether it was your local pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, or you obtained prescriptions by mail or Internet, let us determine if you have a claim.
