Medication Errors

Every day, we rely on medication to regulate our health and cure various conditions. At the same time, we rely on our physicians to write appropriate prescriptions and on our pharmacists to properly fill them. In a hospital, we rely on nurses and staff to supply us with the right medication in the right dosage at the right times of day. When someone fails somewhere along the line, the results can be catastrophic. Thousands of people die due to complications from medication errors every year.

When given in the wrong dosage or to the wrong person, helpful medication can quickly become fatal. When this happens because a doctor, pharmacist, or hospital staff member acted negligently, it is a form of medical malpractice and someone must be held responsible. If this has happened to you, contact a Bakersfield medical malpractice attorney right away to discuss the possibility of financial compensation.
