Pharmacists have a professional duty to accurately fill prescriptions, check for dangerous drug interactions, verify allergies, and counsel patients appropriately. When that duty is breached, both the individual pharmacist and the pharmacy chain may be liable.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1How do you prove a pharmacy error occurred?
We review pharmacy records, the original prescription, and your medical records to establish what was dispensed versus what should have been, and how the error caused your injury.
2Can I sue the pharmacy chain or just the individual pharmacist?
Often both, depending on the facts — pharmacy chains can be held responsible for the actions of their employees in many circumstances.
3What if the error was in the original prescription, not the pharmacy?
That may shift the claim toward the prescribing physician instead of, or in addition to, the pharmacy, depending on where the mistake actually occurred.
