MEDICATION ERROR
Have you been injured from a medication error? If so, then you might have the right to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit. As a result, you should consult with a medical malpractice lawyer.
MEDICATION ERROR MALPRACTICE.
Medication errors are a particularly serious problem because unless you are medically trained it is very difficult for you to understand the risks of your medication. There are many different kinds of medication. They have confusing names. Drug companies aggressively market their medication directly to consumers, and often provide misleading consumer information to consumers like you designed to increase their sales at the expense of your safety. You must rely on your doctor to avoid dangerous medication errors. Your doctor’s primary role is to keep you safe from dangerous medication, and to do no harm.
FIGHT FOR THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE FOR THE INJURIES YOU HAVE SUSTAINED.
Don’t let your health care professional get away with the pain and suffering he has caused by a medication error. Medication errors are life altering, and totally avoidable. For example, anti-psychotic drugs have serious side effects like tardive dyskinesia, or death in elderly patients. In spite of the risks, anti-psychotic drugs are widely prescribed for dementia, and depression when other safer alternatives are available. Fight for the compensation and justice you deserve for the injuries you have sustained, or for your loved one who had their life cruelly taken away.

At The Bartinik Law Firm LLC, we are very selective about the medical malpractice cases we accept. We strive to fight for individuals who have endured very serious injuries and have the most to gain from winning a Connecticut medical malpractice suit. We also work with families who have lost their loved ones due to the negligence of a medical professional.
WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO TAKE TO EVALUATE A CASE?
The first step is to gather the medical records. For example, if your loved one lived in Groton, Connecticut and suffered a serious infection, they likely treated in the Lawrence & Memorial Hospital. You or your lawyer should request all of the records for their care including the hospital records, tests, and the lab work. You will need all of the relevant prior medical records to evaluate the risk of infection.
Next, you will have to find a doctor to review the case. The reviewing doctor must be a similar health provider, or the same type of doctor as the defendant doctor. The reviewing doctor must also have the same qualifications as the defendant doctor. You can proceed only if you received a certification from the reviewing doctor that medical malpractice has occurred by the defendant doctor.
You must prove all of your harms and losses. Next, you must also prove that your harms and losses were caused from the medical malpractice, and not any underlying condition. You will be forced to examine the consequences of the error, and whether the underlying condition contributed to the harm. All of these medical questions require answers by qualified medical experts to determine the harms, and losses suffered by you or your loved one.
