Common Causes of Medication Errors
Medication errors can happen at any point during the treatment process and are often the result of:
- Communication Failures: Miscommunication between doctors, nurses, and pharmacists can lead to incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or instructions.
- Failure to Monitor: Healthcare providers must monitor patients to ensure they respond appropriately to medications and to adjust dosages as needed. Failure to do so can result in serious harm.
- Incomplete Medical History: Prescribing medications without reviewing a patient’s medical history, allergies, or current prescriptions can result in harmful interactions.
- Look-Alike/Sound-Alike Drugs: Medications with similar names or packaging can be easily confused, leading to the wrong drug being administered.
Statute of Limitations for Medication Error Claims in Florida
Medication error lawsuits in Florida fall under the state’s medical malpractice laws. Generally, the statute of limitations is two years from the time the injury was discovered, or should have been discovered. However, exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances of the case. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is filed within the legal timeframe.
