Successes in Medication Error Malpractice Cases
Brad Morris is no stranger to how these medical malpractice cases work. He has managed many cases where medication errors have harmed individuals.

When someone is given a medication, it is the job of the doctors and nurses and pharmacists to make sure that the patient is going to be safe.
Every medication comes with some sort of side effect. However it is a medical professional’s determination that the medication provides more good than harm that leads them to give it to a patient. If there is negligence involved in medication, there may be a liable party who should then answer to their wrongdoings and be responsible for your damages.

How Medication Errors Happen
There are some instances when a medication error happens because of an issue with the medical care professional who prescribed a medication. Or it may have happened because of bad handwriting, miscommunication, carelessness, typing errors and so on. The damages with one simple mistake made with medication can be extremely harmful and sometimes tragically fatal. If you get a medication that you don’t need, you have to deal with those side effects as well as the effects of not getting the medication that you did need.
You may be eligible for a claim if your medical care professional:
- mistakenly gave you the wrong medication
- mistakenly gave you the wrong dose of medication
- gave you medication unintentionally
- gave you medication without looking at your allergies
- gave you medication without looking at the drugs you do take
- mix mediation dangerously

There was a duty of care
Anyone who treats you need to do so in a way that meets the standard of care that any other treating medical professional would need to do. It is applicable to anyone who should treat you and it acts as a contract between you and them. If you get medication in any way that does not meet a standard of care, that may be a lawsuit.
There was a breach of duty
When a treating medical professional does not do their job the way they are expected to, and it ends up harming you, they will become the liable party in a lawsuit. A breach of duty might mean that they did not look at their allergies or medications you were on. They can be found liable for your harm and any damages that you suffered.
