Did a Pharmacy Mistake Cause a Wrongful Death?
The right drug in the right dose at the right time can make all the difference when dealing with an illness or a chronic medical condition. Prescription drugs better our quality of life and are often the cure to what is ailing us. However, a pharmacy error in the administering or the preparing of medication can cause serious injury or wrongful death.

At the Greenberg & Stone law firm, we know how difficult it can be to prove a pharmacy error caused a wrongful death. Our attorneys, though, are prepared for even the most complex cases. In addition to our own extensive experience of 30 years, we consult with a nationwide network of medical experts.
- Did the pharmacist give a loved one the wrong prescription? Many drugs have similar names. Or the pharmacist may have mixed up patient names on prescriptions. Sometimes the wrong dosage is even given to the patient. Any of these pharmacist-related errors can cause a wrongful death and may be compensable.
- Pharmacists serve as a safety net for patients. If a doctor prescribes a drug that will negatively react with other medication the patient is taking, the pharmacists should notice and question the prescription. If the pharmacist is aware of a patient allergy, yet fills a contraindicated prescription, that is a pharmacy error and the pharmacist can be held liable for the injuries or wrongful death that occurred as a result.
- Supplements that are not FDA regulated can cause allergic reactions and, in some cases, wrongful death. If a loved one died after taking supplements (weight-loss supplements, for example), talk to a wrongful death attorney.
- Pharmaceutical companies often rush drugs to market without adequate safety measures. If a loved one died because of a defective drug, tell us about it.
