As medication error lawyers in New York City, we can help you obtain reasonable compensation for injuries sustained due to medication errors arising from negligence.
Medication mistakes can have devastating consequences, including serious injury or death, prolonged hospital stays, additional medical treatment and expenses, lost wages due to inability to work, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life. The Law Offices of Albert Goodwin holds negligent healthcare providers accountable by representing victims of medication errors, seeking compensation for damages, and aiming to prevent future medication mistakes through legal action.
Medical malpractice can lead to medication errors through misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a condition, prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, failing to consider a patient's medical history and allergies, inadequate communication between healthcare providers, and lack of proper monitoring and follow-up care.
Hospital negligence can also contribute to prescription errors through inadequate staffing or training of healthcare professionals, failure to implement or enforce medication safety protocols, miscommunication or errors in electronic health records, inadequate supervision of medication administration, and failure to properly label or store medications.
A wide range of medication error cases can occur:
Medication error-related comas and deaths can result in severe brain damage or permanent vegetative state due to medication errors, such as administering an incorrect dosage or the wrong medication entirely. These errors can lead to oxygen deprivation in the brain, causing irreversible damage to brain cells and functions. Fatal overdoses or allergic reactions resulting from negligence, such as prescribing a medication to a patient with a known allergy or failing to consider potential drug interactions, can cause respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and other life-threatening complications.
