How Common are Pharmacy Errors?

Pharmacy errors are much more common than Americans realize. In the U.S. alone, there are billions of prescriptions filled every year. Unfortunately, medication mistakes occur daily and affect up to 15% of all prescription medicine filled at or dispensed by hospitals, pharmacies, and/or physicians' offices. Most Americans, however, are not aware of how serious the risk of injury is due to prescription mistakes.

Prescription errors occur much more frequently and pose a greater risk to patients and family members than is acceptable. That is why the experienced lawyers at Gray and White Law work hard to successfully handle prescription mistake cases or claims on behalf of clients or their family members. When we obtain large settlements against pharmacies or hospitals for pharmacy errors, then we effectively minimize future medication mistakes from occurring by reminding pharmacy companies, such as Walgreens or CVS, that prescription mistakes can seriously injure people and such negligence or malpractice will not be tolerated.

Did you know that medication mistakes make up nearly 25% of all medical malpractice cases? Did you know that prescription mistakes or medication errors cause up to 7,000 deaths every year? Did you know that a hospital mistake can also result in harmful injuries relating to a medication dosage error?
