    Experts in Pharmacy Dispensed Incorrect Medication Compensation Claims

    Errors with prescribing and dispensing medication make up a large proportion of reasons clients contact us. In short, turn to The Medical Negligence Experts to ask about situations where a pharmacy dispensed wrong medication. Because incorrect medication negligence can happen wherever prescription and dispensation of medication occurs. This includes medical facilities such as hospitals, GP surgeries, care homes, and pharmacies.

    What is Incorrect Medication Negligence?

    Incorrect medication negligence occurs when a patient receives the wrong type or dose of medication. Instead of aiding their treatment and reducing their symptoms, the effects of medication errors can range from merely annoying to being fatal in most Western countries. When an error occurs, there can be:

    • allergic reactions;
    • dispensing errors;
    • exacerbation of injuries;
    • new drug dependency issues for patients, and more.

    These can affect patients both in both (or either) the short term and the long term.

    Incorrect medication compensation claims are everywhere – for example:

    • Receiving a prescription with an incorrect dosage.
    • Allowing too many prescription repeats before assessing the patient’s condition.
    • Prescribing medication initially to which a patient has a known allergy.
    • Dispensing too much medication, leading to an overdose.
    • Dispensing an inadequate dose, leading to delays in a patient’s recovery.
    • Filling a prescription incorrectly.
    • Dispensing the wrong prescription through reading error.
    • Not consulting medical records for allergies, thus risking patient safety.
    • Substituting prescribed medication without checking with the patient or doctor.
    • Labelling medication incorrectly, including dosage and patient’s name.
    • Prescribing conflicting types of medicines.

    Those who prescribe, dispense, and administer medication should follow a standard procedure designed to prevent errors. However, when staff do not follow these procedures for whatever reason, prescription error compensation may be the only option.

    How Can We Help When the Pharmacy Dispensed Wrong Medication?

    Contact The Medical Negligence Experts if you think your health faces adverse effects from incorrect medication. By talking with you about your experience, we can determine if starting a claim is valid in the first place. Accordingly, we’ll be able to advise on the best way to proceed. Because a prescription error claim will require the seasoned legal advice of capable solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

    As well as being able to prove you receive negligent care, we also need to prove it causes you harm. First, we collect the necessary evidence* to submit as proof of your claim to the responsible caregiver. They will conduct their investigation and, if they accept responsibility, will propose an amount of compensation.

    Payments you receive

    Loss of earnings plays a big part in payments you might receive. Especially if you took time off work to recover from illness or injury due to receiving incorrect medication. Medical negligence compensation can also factor in additional costs associated with any extra treatment you may require.

    Perhaps the responsible care provider:

    • refuses liability or;
    • accepts that your treatment was negligible but denies that it caused your injury.

    In that case, we can submit your application to the court. Claims can also go to court if both parties are unable to reach agreement on an acceptable amount of compensation. However, we will do all we can to avoid this. Legal proceedings create extra stress for clients, who only want to receive fair compensation and move on with their lives.

    What Happens Next?

    The first step, therefore, to making a successful compensation claim is to get in touch. We can guide you through the process to make it as swift and stress-free as possible. Plus, we advise clients to get in touch sooner rather than later, as well.

    In short, it’s easier to get evidence together while it is both fresh and recent. Moreover, there is a legal time limit for making a claim for medical negligence.
