Medication Errors in Nursing Homes

Philadelphia Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys: Medication Errors

Nursing homes and other long-term care facilities have a responsibility to protect and provide for our loved ones. When they fail, such as when they are responsible for a medication error, serious consequences can ensue. Nursing home facilities and their staff need to be held accountable for their actions. The Philadelphia law firm of Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman, P.C. — sponsors of MyPhillyLawyer.com — can help.

Our elder care abuse attorneys know what needs to be done to effectively represent victims of negligence. They've been doing it for more than 100 years combined. Contact us for a free consultation on how we can put this experience to work for you and your loved one.

Medication Errors: Pharmacy Errors, Doctors' Errors, Nursing Errors

Medication errors can occur at every level of nursing home care. The law office of Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman represents clients in regard to all types of prescription mistakes:

  • Filling the wrong prescription
  • Misdiagnosing the condition leading to prescription error
  • Prescribing too high of dosage
  • Giving the incorrect dosage
  • Mixing up residents' medications
  • Failing to give the medication with food or water
  • Mixing medications leading to serious side effects
  • Failing to warn residents of the side effects

We offer strong, compassionate representation when these errors have harmed - or killed - your loved one. It is not enough for the nursing home to explain the matter away. We negotiate with the insurance company for the highest compensation possible, and if they do not give us what you deserve, we will take them to court. There is simply no excuse for negligent care in a nursing home.
