Medication Errors

Medications can have a distinct impact on our lives – eliminating pain, curing illness and even saving lives. However, those same medications can be incredibly dangerous when they are distributed, tested or used incorrectly.

At the law office of O’Brien Batten Kirtley & Coomer, PLLC, a Lexington, Kentucky, medical malpractice law firm, we advocate zealously on behalf of individuals who have been injured or killed as a result of medication errors, helping them find the truth and fight for justice.

Experienced Representation For Medication Errors

At any stage between manufacturing a medication and consumption by a patient, negligence can cause medication errors with potentially fatal side effects. Liability for these errors may fall on pharmaceutical companies, doctors, pharmacies, nurses or other medical professionals for:

  • Defects in manufacturing
  • Marketing a drug for treatments not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • Prescribing an inappropriate drug
  • Distributing or administering the wrong drug
  • Prescribing, distributing or administering the wrong dosage of a drug
  • Failing to identify potential drug reactions

Whether medications errors are the result of miscommunications, distractions, insufficient warnings or mistakes in a patient’s chart, the injuries caused by these negligent actions are preventable. At the law office of O’Brien Batten Kirtley & Coomer, PLLC, we are dedicated to hold medical professionals accountable for these mistakes.
