Seeking Justice and Maximum Compensation
We have extensive experience handling medical malpractice cases. For more than 40 years, our firm has been fighting to hold doctors, pharmacists, nursing home staff and other health care professionals accountable for their negligence. These cases can be challenging because doctors, hospitals and insurance companies bring in sophisticated personal injury defense firms to avoid liability.
Our trial attorneys are tenacious in overcoming these challenges. We meticulously prepare every case to be successful at trial, which makes insurance companies take us seriously. We work closely with board-certified doctors to carefully review clients' medical records to understand if prescription drug errors occurred, such as:
- A doctor prescribing the wrong medication
- A doctor prescribing medicine that has the potential for dangerous drug interactions when taken with the patient's other prescriptions
- A pharmacist failing to check for potential drug interactions
- A pharmacist of pharmacy technician filling the wrong prescription, or the right prescription but at the wrong dosage
- Doctors, pharmacists or pharmacy techs providing poor instructions
We develop strong legal arguments to carefully demonstrate how prescription drug errors led to serious allergic reactions and even fatal medication errors. Our attorneys consider every detail as we seek maximum compensation for our clients' hospital bills, future medical, rehabilitative or surgical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, mental distress, anxiety and other losses, as well as any appropriate punitive damages.
