Medication Errors

As a practicing physician and medical malpractice lawyer, Dr. Bruce Fagel is uniquely qualified to represent patients throughout Riverside in claims and civil lawsuits involving medication errors. A medication error may result in only minor side effects, such as a headache, but may have severe effects and even lead to patient death. The type and amount of drug prescribed to a patient is crucial. Serious injuries may occur if the amount supplied is slightly wrong or if the wrong drug is administered.

In medical malpractice claims involving medication errors or pharmacy malpractice, it may be discovered that a single complication led to the error. A doctor may have poor handwriting and a pharmacist may then give a patient the wrong medicine or the wrong amount, or a nurse may pick up the wrong medicine off the shelf. Other times, multiple mistakes or instances of negligence lead to a medication error and it can be difficult to determine exactly why a patient was administered the wrong medicine.

With 10 years of experience in emergency medicine and over 20 years of legal experience, Dr. Bruce Fagel is a distinctly skilled medical malpractice attorney and a formidable opponent in the courtroom. Dr. Fagel’s ability to accurately evaluate the medical records and procedures used by medical personnel, access to expert witnesses and ability to explain medical terms to a judge and jury are just a few aspects of the exceptional legal representation Dr. Fagel provides.
