New Jersey Pharmacy Negligence Attorney
Medication errors can occur in a number of ways:
- A patient may be given the wrong medication or the wrong dosage of a medication by a paramedic, a nurse or hospital staff
- A pharmacy may have misfilled a prescription
- A patient may have been given a drug to which they are allergic because the medical staff failed to take a complete history or failed to read the patient's medical chart
- A patient may not have been told how to take their medication properly or may not have been warned of potential drug interactions
Some medication errors are detected soon after the medicine has been taken because the patient develops breathing problems or skin problems. Some medication errors are only discovered much later, when the patient develops liver or kidney failure, or when patient fails to improve from the illness being treated.

Bringing a Successful Claim for a Medication Error
It's important that you know that in order to bring a successful medical malpractice claim, you must have had financial losses or lasting medical problems due to the error. If you suffered a bad reaction and were immediately treated, and the treatment was successful, it is unlikely you will be successful with your claim.
For example, if you were given the wrong dose of a medication and suffered severe skin blistering and burning that required weeks or months of treatment, you are in a good position to receive compensation. If you suffered hives that went away within a day or two, you did not miss work or school, and have no lasting effects, financial recovery is less likely.
Mr. Hoyt can review your case and advise you how a court is likely to view the case depending upon the length of time you were affected, the seriousness of the side effects, and the degree of recovery you were abler to achieve.
