Americans filled a record 5.8 billion prescriptions in 2018. We rely on prescription medications to treat illness, to manage chronic disease and improve our quality of life.

Pharmacies and pharmacists have a legal obligation to fill prescriptions with the right drug and dosage. Furthermore, pharmacies must identify dangerous drug combinations and potential errors in the prescription and dosage, and warn their customers. If they fail to do this and you suffer injury from an improper drug prescription, you have the right to seek compensation.

Physicians also have a legal obligation to write prescriptions for safe medications and in the proper dosage for the patient.

We also have settled other cases involving pharmacy and physician medication errors which are subject to confidentiality provisions which do not allow us to disclose the results.

In the last five years alone, we have recovered more than $120 million for our clients.
