Rhode Island Medical Malpractice Lawyer Handling Medication Errors
A medication error can have a serious effect on a patient's life. For many medication error victims, negligence means permanent organ damage or even wrongful death. At my law firm — Vincent D. Morgera, Ltd. — in Providence, Rhode Island, I represent medication error victims in successful medical malpractice lawsuits.
I bring lawsuits against doctors, pharmacists, nurses and hospitals when a medication error has led to harm. With years of experience as a trial attorney and extensive medical knowledge, I am well prepared to help you achieve the best possible results.
Medication errors happen for several reasons:
- Too much medication is given, resulting in overdose. Patients who have been given the wrong dosage of medication may experience liver failure, kidney failure, decreased heart rate, respiratory problems and wrongful death.
- The wrong kind of medication is given, resulting in damage to bodily systems, drug interactions or drug allergies. The results can be toxic for many patients, especially those who are already fragile due to illness or injury.
- No medication is given when it should be, resulting in failure to control serious conditions, like diabetes. Patients should be constantly monitored and cared for to make sure that they are given the correct medications at the correct times.
Consulting With Experts in Medical Malpractice Cases
I often consult with highly-regarded experts on medication error cases, especially when preparing for a difficult trial. While they are excellent doctors and their expert testimony helps me build strong cases, most doctors do not understand the legal system. That is why my knowledge of the complexities within the legal system is critical to your case's success — even when the most highly-regarded experts are involved.
I have been practicing law for more than 40 years and focusing on medical malpractice for more than 25. My intimate knowledge of trial law helps me communicate the truth clearly to the jury. I find that helping the jury understand the facts of your case allows them to respond appropriately.
