Overview

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.

Liability Considerations

Pharmacists must accurately fill prescriptions, check for interactions, and verify patient safety information. A breach of that professional duty can create liability for the pharmacist and, often, the pharmacy chain that employs them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How 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.

Can 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.

What 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.
