New York Drug Interaction Injury Attorneys
A Medical Malpractice Firm Practicing in Queens for Six Decades.
Life-saving and life-improving drugs can quickly cause serious injuries and even wrongful death when taken in the wrong quantities or when prescribed incorrectly. At the New York law firm of Pearlman, Apat, Futterman, Sirotkin & Seinfeld, LLP, our six-member lawyer team has provided legal assistance to victims of medication errors for a combined 80 years.
Drug, pharmaceutical and medication mistakes usually happen in one of several ways:
- Pharmacists are unable to correctly read doctors' handwriting
- Doctors fail to fully review patients' medical histories or fail to diligently monitor patients, leading to overuse and overdoses
- Medical professionals incorrectly write down incorrect drug amounts. This error frequently involves decimal errors, i.e. 10 milligrams of a drug are prescribed instead 1.0 milligrams.
Simple mistakes can cause terrible consequences. For example, we recently handled a case for a young woman who had fallen and fractured her leg while in the hospital. the operation to fix the fracture was a success. She was properly prescribed blood thinners. Unfortunately, she was allergic to them. Even more unfortunately, the hospital continued provide them for two days after her doctor ordered that the medication be stopped. A hemorrhage in and damage to her adrenal system resulted. We obtained $800,000 for her for her injuries.
