Qualified Medication Error Compensation
for Victims in Chicago and all Across Illinois

Medication is an exact science. Errors in timing, dosage, administration, prescription, or identification of the proper drugs can result in devastating injuries and even death.

Getting that science right is the responsibility of the healthcare providers and not the patients. Pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and other care professionals are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that medications are appropriately prescribed, distributed, and administered.

Likewise, the companies that manufacturer these medications have a duty to make sure they’re safe before releasing them on the market.

Unfortunately, the proper care often falls through the cracks. Medication errors are frighteningly common in Illinois and throughout the United States. In fact, they account for one out of every four medical malpractice cases.

At Malman Law, it is our belief that patients need someone to look out for them. After all, patients are not the ones with medical expertise. They rely on the care and instructions of others. When the responsible parties let them down, it is our job to step in and hold them accountable.

How Do Medication Errors Happen?

Naturally, most doctors and hospitals do their best to avoid error. No one means to make mistakes or cause injuries. Nevertheless, accidents do happen, and the responsibility for those is assigned to the healthcare providers.

Medication errors are preventable injuries and they always happen as a result of carelessness. Examples include:

  • Sloppy handwriting
  • Mixing up medical charts / records
  • Accidentally switching patients’ medications
  • Inattentiveness
  • Inexperience
  • Understaffed medical facilities
  • Failure to follow safety procedures
  • Labeling errors
  • Using the wrong method of administration
  • Mistakes made in lab work or when handling test results
  • Administering medication at the wrong time of day
  • Administering medication with / without food
  • Failure to screen for adverse recreational drug use
  • Overdose / underdose
  • Combining doses
  • Skipping doses
  • Injection errors
  • Relying on expired prescriptions or expired drugs
  • Failure to monitor patient conditions and respond accordingly
  • Failure to identify side effects or adverse reactions to medications
  • Misdiagnosis leading to medication error
  • Failure to seek emergency care for adverse reactions
  • Any other oversight or mistake leading to injury
