When you trust a medical professional with your care, you expect prescriptions to be accurate, safe, and appropriate for your condition. A single medication error can cause severe reactions, internal bleeding, organ damage, or permanent disability. If a preventable prescription mistake harmed you, a Connecticut prescription error lawyer at Berkowitz Hanna can help you understand your legal options and pursue accountability through a medical malpractice claim.
Prescription errors often occur quietly, but their effects can escalate quickly. You may be dealing with new symptoms, worsening health, or complications that require emergency treatment. Our medical malpractice attorneys understand how overwhelming this experience can feel, and we will fight for you while you focus on your recovery.
Medication errors can occur at several points in the treatment process, from diagnosis through follow-up care. In many cases, these mistakes are preventable when providers follow accepted medical standards. Our Connecticut attorneys regularly investigate claims involving prescription mistakes arising from failures such as:
These errors can constitute negligence if a court deems them to be below the accepted standard of care. We will work with qualified medical experts to determine how a reasonably careful provider should have acted under similar circumstances and whether that failure caused you any harm.
It is important to know whether the mistake occurred because of a prescribing decision or a communication breakdown. Liability may extend beyond a single provider depending on the facts. In Connecticut, a prescription error attorney may pursue claims against physicians, hospital systems, or other health care professionals involved in the treatment.
What matters legally is whether the provider owed you a duty of care, breached that duty through a medication-related error, and caused measurable harm. Under Connecticut General Statutes § 52-184c, which governs medical malpractice standards of care, injured patients must prove that a health care provider failed to act as a reasonably skilled professional would have under similar circumstances. Our lawyers can coordinate a detailed medical record review and provide expert testimonies to establish this connection in your case.
Medication mistakes can result in immediate and long-term consequences. Through a Connecticut drug error medical malpractice claim, a lawyer can help seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages directly related to the harm.
Recoverable damages may include:
Every case is different. Our attorneys will take the time to understand how the prescription error affects your daily life and future medical needs so that your claim accurately reflects your losses.
