Prescription error law covers any problem related to medicine in any medical facility including hospitals, nursing homes, a doctor’s office or even your own home. Because the causal link between the problem with the medication and the illness or injury is usually well documented, prescription errors are one of the most commonly settled medical malpractice case types. If a child or an elderly person is involved in the Washington prescription errors case, the results may be even more serious. Both children and the elderly have higher rates of sensitivity to changes in medication and can be seriously harmed by it if the medicine is not properly administered.
Several new technologies are being instituted throughout Washington that will hopefully stop the rising number of prescription errors. A new computerized system of prescription filling is being tested and implemented throughout the state that would eliminate doctor’s hand written prescriptions and send the order directly to the pharmacy using the Internet. While this system is being tested and implemented people are still being exposed to many different types of prescription errors.
Because it is estimated that 90% of all prescription errors were preventable, it is highly suggested that you contact legal advice if you suspect error.
