Trust an Elk & Elk Ohio medical malpractice lawyer when a medication error injures you

Medication errors cause at least one death every day and injure approximately 1.3 million people annually in the U.S., according to the Food and Drug Administration. Factors like the sheer number of drugs being prescribed and used, the popularity of at-home prescription administration and the many look alike, sound alike, drugs out there all combine to make taking medicine a health care crapshoot.

It’s no wonder, then, that medication mismanagement makes up a hefty portion of medical malpractice litigation. This doesn’t mean it’s routine, though, as each and every medication error claim out there needs to be dealt with by an experienced, reliable and resourceful law firm. When you trust an Elk & Elk Ohio medical malpractice lawyer after a medication-related injury, you’re taking the first step toward the peace of mind only a fair deal and the reassurance your needs will be met can bring.

“The extra medical cost of treating drug-related injuries occurring in hospitals alone conservatively amounts to $3.5 billion a year, and this estimate does not take into account lost wages and productivity or additional health care costs,” an Institute of Medicine report reads.
