Medication Errors

Medication Error Lawsuit

Were You Prescribed the Wrong Medication? Doctor Negligence Victims Have Legal Rights in NY.

Medications must be properly prescribed and administered to ensure patient safety. When a patient is given the wrong medicine, or the wrong medication dosage, they may suffer serious injuries or even death.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a medication error, contact the experienced medical malpractice lawyers at E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy. We represent clients throughout New York in medication error claims, including:

  • Prescribing or administering the wrong medication
  • Failure to consider the possibility of adverse drug interactions
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Pharmacy errors
  • Doctor and nurse errors
  • Incorrect dosage errors

IMPORTANT NOTE: 
If you or a loved one has been injured by a medication error, it is critical that you act quickly to protect your rights. New York’s statute of limitations in medical malpractice cases severely limits the time that you have to file a claim and seek the compensation you deserve. To schedule a free consultation with an experienced medical malpractice attorney, contact E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy today.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
