The Deadly Negligence Of Medication Mistakes

Most nursing homes do not have doctors on-site. The law does not require nurses to administer medication. As a result, care attendants without medical training regularly administer prescription medications and make terrible errors while doing so.

Successfully managing a prescription medication claim is not easy. You need attorneys who can prove that a medication error caused someone injury and that, as a result, they have damages. Our team has experience handling complex medical malpractice claims as well as elder abuse cases. We prepare for litigation, and we do not settle for less than what you deserve.

What Is Overmedication? How Is It Harmful?

Some forms of medication negligence are not accidental. The deliberate overmedication of a patient is also known as chemical restraint. It is an abusive method that nursing homes sometimes use to sedate a disruptive patient. It is not only incredibly dangerous but also against Kentucky and federal laws to administer psychotropic medication without the patient’s informed consent.
