Patient Injuries and Death Due to Medication Errors

Medication errors cause 7,000 patient deaths a year according to a well publicized study by the Institute of Medicine. Most medication errors come from carelessness. A doctor's prescription is illegible. A pharmacist carelessly prepares the medication. A patient bleeds to death after a nurse administers Coumadin (a blood thinner) intended for another patient. For more informaiton about medication errors go to the FDA's website where you can find an excellent article describing the incidence of medication errors and how they can be prevented. At Williamson & Lavecchia, L.C. we represent victims of medication errors committed by hospitals, nursing homes, and pharmacists. You are invited to contact us if you or a loved one has been injured due to a medication error. Your claim is subject to Virginia's strict statute of limitations. Regards, Josh Silverman
