The defendant in a lawsuit over mistakes in medication might be a prescribing physician, the pharmacy that filled the prescription improperly, the nurse who administered it in the wrong amounts or at the wrong times, or even a hospital or nursing home.
With more than 25 years of trial experience in medical malpractice, Portland lawyer Dave Miller knows how to investigate and present evidence of medication errors whenever it appears that negligence on the part of a health care professional played a role in a patient's serious or fatal complication.
We can find proof of medication errors in records indicating that the prescribing doctor ignored the patient's allergies or vulnerability to certain drug interactions. We might find that the right drug was prescribed, but the pharmacy failed to supply the drug in the proper dosage or with the right instructions. It might turn out that a nurse administered the medication incorrectly in the hospital or other clinical setting.
In recent years, we've found that the latest innovations in pain management have led to problems with overdoses, especially with Fentanyl transdermal patches. By working with highly qualified medical experts, we're usually able to identify the party responsible for the medication error and the resulting harm to the patient.
