GP Negligence: Incorrect Prescription Claims
If your general practitioner has given you an incorrect prescription, you may be able to make a compensation claim for GP negligence. The majority of these errors will only affect the patient's health for a short term period. However in some instances an error in prescription can result in serious illnesses and even fatalities.
The most common prescription error claims include:
-
Incorrect drug
-
Incorrect dose/strength
-
Incorrect patient
-
Incorrect labels
If you, or a loved one has received an incorrect prescription because of GP negligence you should call the expert medical negligence solicitors at Darbys on 0800 524 4349 or email us for a free consultation about making a compensation claim.
