Charleston Drug Error Lawyer
West Virginia Prescription Drug Error Litigation
At the Akers Law Offices in Charleston, we represent persons injured by the failure of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, or other health care professionals to properly administer, dispense or provide proper instructions with prescription drugs. Errors involving the wrong medication, the wrong dose or due care for allergies or drug interactions can all result in substantial injuries or even death. Contact a skilled and experienced attorney at our office for dependable advice and representation in a case involving prescription or medication errors, wrong drug information or a nursing error in administering medication.
We handle cases involving all three of the most common prescription errors. First, we represent clients in claims of a doctor's error in prescribing a particular drug or medication without regard for allergies, interactions or other contraindications for a particular drug.
We present pharmaceutical injury claims against pharmacists who fill a correct prescription with the wrong drug, the wrong dose or without accurate instructions as to how to use the medication safely.
We also represent clients in cases involving a nurse or other attendant's failure to administer a prescription drug according to the instructions of the doctor or the pharmacy. Claims against health care providers can cover errors ranging from improper insertion of an IV to failure to administer drugs at the proper times of day, with or without food as directed or without consideration of a patient's other symptoms.
Prescription drug errors can result in very serious injuries or even death. Medical studies show that every year thousands of patients suffer a preventable injury due to medication errors.
If you or someone in your family was severely injured due to the error of a doctor, pharmacist or nurse who failed to prescribe and administer drugs in a reasonably safe manner, contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer at the Akers Law Offices in Charleston.
