Suffering from Pharmaceutical Negligence?
What is Pharmacy Negligence?
Like doctors and other healthcare practitioners, pharmacists must complete years of education and supervised training. For this reason, the law holds pharmacists to the same high standard of care as doctors. A pharmacist must exercise care while dispensing medication or risk facing a pharmacy negligence claim.

Proving Negligence in Cases of Medication Errors
It is always important for the victim to retain possession of the actual medication, pill bottles, and paperwork received from the pharmacy. Securing a copy of the prescription itself and/or the physician’s records will assist us in determining whether negligence was committed.
Careful timelines of onset of illness and its progression are also vital to this type of case. Document as much as possible to help assist us with your case. Don’t take matters into your own hands; trust Medical Negligence 100 to be on your side.
