Wrongful Prescriptions

When you go to the pharmacy, you assume that a pharmacist, has followed the doctor’s directions and dispensed the prescribed medication pursuant to the doctor’s specifications.

Sadly, there are occasions when the wrong medication and/or wrong dosage is dispensed to a consumer.

If you or a loved one has experienced harmful side effect from a misfilled or mis-dispensed prescription drug you may need the assistance of an attorney to help recover damages on your behalf.
