Boulder Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Attorney Helping Victims of Pharmacy Errors in Boulder & Longmont
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest and most important parts of modern American industry. Almost all people require medication at various times in their life, and some people with certain conditions require medication over their entire lives. Medication is not cheap, and because of the large number of people requiring medications, pharmaceutical companies and other businesses that provide these drugs are one of the largest growing industries in the world. Drug manufacturers, distributors, and pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to provide products to consumers that are not only safe but that fulfill their medical needs as well. When a pharmacist, distribution company, or manufacturer fails to provide safe and correct medications to customers, the victim can file a lawsuit suing them for damages resulting from their mistake.
A recent study conducted by the prestigious Institute of Medicine discovered that as many as 1.5 million Americans suffer adverse health consequences due to pharmacy medication errors. One study discovered that medical pharmacy errors in hospital settings alone cost $3.5 billion in increased costs of additional treatment, pain and suffering. The pharmacy system in the United States contributes significantly to this disturbing trend of pharmacy errors, and although recent advances in pharmaceutical technology should make distributing and monitoring medicines easier, unfortunately it has not.
