Philadelphia Lawyers: Pharmacy Error and Malpractice
Holding Negligent Pharmacists Accountable for Serious or Fatal Injuries
If you suspect that you were injured or you lost a loved one due to a pharmacy error such as a misread or mis-filled prescription, misprinted dosing instruction or failure on the part of a pharmacist to explain all relevant contraindications and potential adverse reactions, there are two things you can do immediately:

Immediately upon taking your case, we can mobilize independent investigators and respected medical experts to establish the facts in your case. We will seek to prove what medication and amount should have been prescribed and dispensed, as opposed to what you or your loved one actually received at the pharmacy.
Pharmacist Liability in Prescription Drug Addiction
Another situation in which pharmacy error can cause serious injury or death occurs in relation to patients who become addicted to prescription medications. Pharmacists have a responsibility to monitor the frequency at which they are dispensing addictive drugs to a particular patient. If they fail to do so, they may be held liable for damages done to that patient in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
