Pharmaceutical Error Attorneys in Michigan
Experienced Legal Counsel for Victims of Medication Mistakes
Medications prescribed by physicians and distributed by licensed pharmacists are, by their nature, hazardous. On occasion, a physician will prescribe a drug in the wrong dosage or without due regard for medication interactions or allergies.
Sometimes, a pharmacist will fill a prescription incorrectly, either with the wrong medication or in the wrong dose. Additionally, patients in a hospital can be injured if a nurse administers the wrong medication or fails to give medication in a timely manner. All of these situations can result in severe injury.

What Are the Causes of Pharmaceutical/Medication Errors?
There are many causes for pharmaceutical and medication mistakes. In some cases, hospital nurses are distracted and read drug labels incorrectly.
