When Care Providers Make Medication Errors
The sad reality is that many nursing homes are filled to capacity, employees are overworked, and facilities are understaffed. This is a dangerous combination for elderly residents who can do little to help themselves.
At The Bell Law Firm, PLLC, we have handled numerous medication error cases, including those related to the following:
- Nursing home employees stealing medication and substituting another in its place (for example, substituting Aspirin for Oxycontin)
- Employees allowing family members to administer medications, while family members end up stealing medications
- Administering medications late
- Missing a medication and giving double dosage at a later time
- Administering wrong medicine
Elderly individuals depend on the accurate and timely administration of medications. A late dosage could cause serious and even fatal results. In the very least, nursing homes should be meeting their residents' most basic needs - which includes the proper administration of medicine.
Our Commitment to Clients
Our lawyers believe in holding nursing homes responsible for their mistakes. Although employees may play down the severity of a medication error, one missed dosage could be a fatal mistake. We work to recover the maximum compensation for the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by a medication error.
