New Jersey Prescription Error Attorneys

Prescription errors can happen to anyone taking prescribed medications to treat their ailments. Sadly, the results of a prescription error can be devastating. A wrong drug or incorrect dosage can not only mean that the right treatment is missed by the patient, but that a potentially hazardous drug is ingested in its place. Unless the patient catches the mistake before taking the drug, side effects or unintended chemical reactions could put that person’s life in danger.

If you or someone you love has been harmed by a prescription error, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Contact the New Jersey prescription error attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today at 800-346-5529 to discuss your situation with an experienced legal professional.

Causes of Prescription Errors

There are several different ways a prescription error can occur. Between doctors or pharmacists, these errors can include:

  • Incorrect dosage
  • Incorrect drug
  • Medication given to the wrong patient
  • Incorrect label information

Any one of these factors could contribute to further health complications. Overdosing leads to potentially fatal health risks with many prescription drugs, while under-dosage can have the effect of not receiving necessary treatment. By filling a prescription for the wrong drug, pharmacists can potentially issue opposite treatments or deadly drug combinations to patients, leading to extreme health deterioration.
