Kansas City, Independence, St. Louis Pharmacy Mistakes, Prescription Errors: Free Investigation and Consultation
Because legal consultation and medical investigation is almost always a benefit, we offer legal consultation and medical investigation into hospital malpractice, nursing home abuse, and prescription errors and other pharmacy mistakes at no charge. With St. Louis, downtown Kansas City, and Independence offices, Horn Law is dedicated to maximizing your recovery. We have handled a wide range of medication and drug error cases involving:
- Short-term injury and full recovery;
- Longer-term injury and full recovery;
- Brain damage and other serious disability caused by a medication error;
- Death and other medical complications caused by a hospital medication error.
Many prescription errors are committed because pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, nurses, and medical assistants are over-worked and under-staffed. Thus, if you receive the wrong medication at the pharmacy, it is helpful if you will try and recall who and under what circumstances the prescription was given to you at the pharmacy, including the date and time the prescription was ordered and filled. With regard to hospital and nursing home medication mistakes, we usually have the advantage of the medical records to enhance our investigations.
Most prescription errors that our Missouri firm investigates involve large chain store pharmacies. These chain drug stores are filling so many prescription orders that it is not surprising that more and more people are taking incorrect medications because of:
- Receiving the wrong drug;
- Receiving the wrong dosage;
- Receiving the wrong instructions for use.
If you have taken a wrong medication or a wrong dosage, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you feel you were not affected, make sure you doctor is aware of the error and the exact amount of wrong medication you took and get your doctor’s recommendation concerning your medical care.
Important Notes for Victims of Pharmacy Mistakes:
- Please keep the container of wrong medication and do not give the wrong medication back to the pharmacist. Also, please resist the urge to accept a gift card or a free re-fill from the pharmacy at fault.
- Before you call for legal consultation, if possible, make sure you have the right spellings of both the medication prescribed to you and the wrong medication given to you. Also, please make note of the dosage levels. It is important to us that we have accurate information.
