Errors in Medication Prescribing and Administration
Medication errors occur when healthcare providers prescribe the wrong medication, administer an incorrect dosage, or fail to account for a patient's allergies and other medications. These errors can lead to severe adverse reactions, ineffective treatment, and sometimes life-threatening conditions. The consequences of medication errors can be particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with complex medical conditions. Our legal experts specialise in handling cases of medication errors, striving to hold negligent parties accountable and secure justice for affected patients.
