Medication Errors
In many cases, administering the wrong medication can literally mean the difference between life and death. Unfortunately, we at Malman Law are no strangers to this terrible form of medical malpractice.
Did you know that medication error make up nearly one fourth of all medical malpractice cases? This can mean failure to give medication, incorrect medication, giving too much or not enough, or waiting too long to give medication. Nurses are usually the medical professionals responsible for medication errors –and consequently they are the ones who are charged with medical malpractice. But pharmacists, doctors, technicians and just about any health care worker who dispenses drugs can be held accountable.
