McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC
Pharmacy Dispensing Error Attorneys
According to a study conducted by Auburn University, dispensing errors are a nationwide problem, especially at retail pharmacies. Dispensing errors can occur because someone is given the wrong drug, the wrong dosage or the wrong instructions (commonly referred to as “misfill “ cases). Because of long hours and an increased demand on pharmacists’ time, pharmacies do not always have the resources needed to check, double check, and triple check to make certain that the drug and dosage is dispensed correctly. And, while automated mail order pharmacies are significantly more accurate, dispensing errors still occur in the mail order environment as well. McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC represents people who have suffered substantial health problems or wrongful death because of pharmacy dispensing errors. Even if a drug misfill did not result in death but rather a trip to the emergency room, our personal injury lawyers can help you recover the cost of your medical treatment and compensation for pain and suffering.
