Holding Nursing Homes Responsible for Medication Errors and Injury
Any medication error holds the potential for catastrophic injury or death and demonstrates patient care negligence as well as medical malpractice. Nursing home residents are often already in a weakened state, and as a result, the consequences of medication errors can be more severe than in younger or stronger patients.
At the law office of Roy S. Hiller, our New York City nursing home negligence attorney offers decades of knowledge and a proven record of experience in injury litigation to clients in the Bronx, Brooklyn and throughout the five boroughs. We are aggressive advocates for the rights of the elderly in nursing homes and any individual under the care of a rehabilitation home.
Working to Get Answers and Results
Simply knowing that there was a medication error that resulted in serious injury or even wrongful death is the start of your case. Our veteran personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer takes the next steps to identify who is responsible and where the negligence occurred.
We explore whether:
- Medication was improperly administered
- If there was a pharmacy error resulting in improper dosages
- Whether doctors prescribed the right medication
- If medications got mixed up between patients
- Whether needed medications were missed
In an improper medication or resident case, the fault may lay with nurses, pharmacists, doctors or even the processes and procedures of the institution. We thoroughly investigate to find out where the fault occurred and who should be rightfully held financially responsible for the pain and suffering they caused.
Elder-abuse cases are complex and time intensive cases, which is why our firm focuses its attention on a small case load. We make sure that we are working in service of people who are entitled to substantial compensation for serious injury to their loved ones, and we are thorough and unwavering in advocating for their rights.
