Medication Toxicity and Claiming Compensation for Medical Negligence
Contact a specialist solicitor if you think that either you or a loved one are suffering from medication toxicity due to negligent medical care around the prescription of your medication.
Medication prescriptions and when they go wrong
Prescriptions for medication to tackle a wide variety of medical conditions are written in their thousands every day. The nature of the medication, its suitability to the problem and the patient, and the appropriate dosage are all crucial elements to every prescription.
However, these factors are particularly relevant where the impact of incorrect medication or incorrect dosage can change a person's life.
Incorrect medication or incorrect dosage can adversely affect an individual, sometimes compromising their health and well-being on a permanent basis.
Medication toxicity, where the patient might be described as having been poisoned by their medication, may justify a claim for compensation.
When prescribing medication for a patient it is not just a matter of the nature of the medical problem. It is also vital to take into account the patient's allergies and susceptibilities, their pre-existing health conditions, such as kidney disease, their weight and recent courses of medication.
This information may occasionally indicate that the medication under consideration is inappropriate for that patient. A failure to be aware of this, a failure to take that information into account may be regarded as negligent.
Medical negligence and when to make a claim
If the patient then suffers an adverse reaction, which may be life-changing, it may be possible for the patient to make a claim for compensation.
A successful claim, where it is accepted that the medication prescription was in error and that it has caused the patient to suffer, would take account of any impact such as a loss of income or the need for personal care, which has been caused by the negligence.
If you think that this may apply to you, do not delay. Contact a specialist solicitor as soon as possible to ensure that the quality of your medical care is thoroughly investigated before the deadline for claims expires.
