What Are Medication Errors?

Medication errors occur when a healthcare provider administers, prescribes, or dispenses the wrong medication or dosage. These mistakes can have devastating consequences, leading to severe injuries, long-term health complications, or even wrongful death. Common types of medication errors include:

• Incorrect Dosage – Administering too much or too little of a prescribed drug.
• Wrong Medication – Giving a patient the incorrect prescription due to miscommunication or mislabeling.
• Failure to Recognize Drug Interactions – Prescribing medications that dangerously interact with each other.
• Mislabeling or Confusing Medications – Errors in pharmaceutical packaging or dispensing.
• Administration Errors – Mistakes in how or when a drug is given to a patient.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Medication Errors?

Determining liability in a medication error case can be complex, as multiple parties may be responsible. Those who may be held accountable include:

• Doctors and Physicians – If a doctor prescribes the wrong medication or fails to check for potential drug interactions, they may be liable for malpractice.
• Nurses and Hospital Staff – Administering the wrong medication or incorrect dosage can lead to serious harm.
• Pharmacists and Pharmacies – Errors in dispensing the incorrect prescription or failing to provide proper instructions can be grounds for liability.
• Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities – Inadequate training, poor staffing, and faulty protocols can contribute to medication mistakes.

Proving Medical Malpractice in a Medication Error Case

To pursue a successful claim, you must prove that negligence directly caused your injury. This typically involves demonstrating:

1. A healthcare provider owed you a duty of care.
2. They breached that duty by making a preventable medication error.
3. The mistake resulted in harm, leading to medical expenses, pain and suffering, or other damages.
