Incorrect Medication Can Cause Serious Injuries
Some of the most common mistakes that occur in hospitals and clinics across North Carolina are prescription errors. Whether a pharmacy gives out the wrong medication, a doctor writes the wrong prescription, a nurse administers the wrong dose or another error occurs, the patient can suffer serious injury or death as a result. Doctors, pharmacists and nurses need to be held accountable for the prescription errors that harm patients.
In Charlotte, at the Karney Law Firm, I have handled claims of medical malpractice, including prescription drug errors, for more than 30 years in North and South Carolina. I have the experience it takes to properly investigate and pursue prescription errors that cause serious injuries. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a medication error, it is in your best interest to talk with a Charlotte prescription error attorney about your options under the law.

Unfortunately, prescription drug errors are all too frequent. In some cases, these errors do little harm and are caught before serious injuries occur. In others, these errors can have serious consequences for patients, including death. Common prescription errors may include:
- Prescriptions for the wrong medication to treat a condition
- Wrong dosage or frequency of a medication
- Prescriptions for medications that are dangerous to take with other medications taken by the same patient
- Pharmacists filling the wrong prescriptions or dosages
- Giving patients the wrong instructions for taking medications
- Failing to monitor the drug's effect on patients
At my firm, I thoroughly investigate medication errors to determine who was at fault, how the mistake could have been prevented and whether a medical malpractice claim is an option for my client and his or her family. I have the resources to take on complex and serious cases of prescription errors in the Carolinas.
