What Is a Prescription or Medication Error Claim?

A prescription or medication error claim is a type of medical negligence claim made when a patient suffers harm because medication was prescribed, dispensed, or administered incorrectly.

These errors may occur when a healthcare professional:

  • Prescribes the wrong medication
  • Prescribes the wrong dosage or strength
  • Fails to consider allergies or existing conditions
  • Dispenses the incorrect medication
  • Provides unclear or incorrect instructions
  • Administers medication improperly in a hospital or care setting

If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
