Question:
Can I file a malpractice claim due to a pharmacy error?
Answer:
The pharmacist has a responsibility to properly fill your prescription. Nobody ends up in a pharmacy unless they’re dealing with a problem to begin with and getting an improper medication usually means that they’re original problem doesn’t get better and having a misfilled prescription can actually create new problems. If you have worsening of an original injury or sickness, or you’re now suffering a new injury, the pharmacist can be responsible if they have not properly filled out that prescription. That is actually a claim that we’ve successfully prosecuted here in our firm, and it’s critical that we have that opportunity to hold pharmacists accountable too. The pharmacy negligence case or the misfilled prescription case is a viable cause of action in Florida, and we vigorously prosecute those claims.
