Medication Errors
A fact about medication errors
The Institute of Medicine estimates that there are 7,000 deaths per year from medication errors.
Experience, preparation and resources make the difference
Medication errors can lead to permanent injury or death. When such errors are the result of negligence by doctors, nurses, pharmacists and anesthesiologists, a patient injured or made ill may be able to seek compensation for the damage they suffered.
At the Covington, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio, law firm, The Lawrence Firm, our attorneys have helped many people obtain payment for their injuries, medical bills and lost wages after a medication error. One reason for our success is our many years of experience. Another is our willingness to prepare every case as if it is going to trial.
