Wrong Prescriptions

Louisiana Medication Error Lawyer

When people go to the pharmacy to get medicine, they have a right to expect that it will make them better. When the prescribed medication makes their condition worse, causing injury or death, they may be able to file a claim for compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and other costs of the injury caused by the wrong prescription.

At the office of Kevin P. Tauzin, Attorney at Law, we help people injured, and the families of those killed, by a prescription mistake. There are frequently a number of people involved in filling a prescription-- doctors, pharmacists, and nurses. Our attorney does the needed investigative work to determine where and by whom the error was committed. This allows us to build a strong case for clients. If you believe you were injured, or a loved one killed, because of a wrong prescription, contact our Lafayette, Louisiana, law office. We will evaluate your case promptly.

Do not accept excuses if you or a family member was injured or killed because of wrong prescriptions. Contact an attorney who knows how to help.

Our clients include patients and families of those injured or killed by:

• Illegible prescriptions from the physician
• Incorrect doses administered by a hospital nurse
• Wrong medications given out by the pharmacist
• Wrong strength of medication given out by pharmacist
• Wrong patient instructions and warnings given out by pharmacist
• Prescriptions written by a doctor without adequate patient history

Errors like these can lead to strokes, elevated blood pressure, and death. These mistakes are particularly serious in cases involving children; their systems may not be developed enough to withstand the effects of the wrong medicine or dose.

If you believe you or a family member was harmed because of wrong prescriptions, contact a knowledgeable malpractice lawyer. Call our Louisiana attorney, Kevin P. Tauzin for a free initial consultation.
