Who’s Responsible for Medication Errors?

Medication error cases are often complex and technical, making it challenging to trace how a drug moved from creation to the patient. At Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson, L.L.P., we have the experience and resources to pinpoint exactly who’s responsible for your injuries. Potentially responsible parties include:

Responsible parties may include:

  • Drug Companies — Sometimes, medication errors can be traced back to the drug company that created the medicine. These companies are responsible for ensuring public safety through rigorous testing, proper labeling, and educating representatives and doctors about the drug’s intended use.
  • Pharmaceutical Representatives — Those who sell drugs to doctors and hospitals might make critical mistakes. If a sales rep misrepresented a drug’s intended use or failed to provide adequate information to the doctor, they could be held liable.

  • Doctors — Doctors must make accurate diagnoses and prescribe the right medication based on their patients’ symptoms. Failing to do so can compromise patient safety, making them liable for any resulting harm.
  • Nurses and Hospital Staff — Hospital and nursing home staff often distribute medication to patients. If an employee makes a mistake in administering medication, they or their employer could be held accountable.
