We also handle cases with paraprofessionals within the health care field who work within hospitals, clinics and pharmacies. Many of these cases end up being filed against the facility and our firm has the resources and experience to take on tough cases, such as:

Pharmacy and nurse medication errors
As a registered nurse and former hospital manager, attorney Karen Salter has a unique perspective regarding these cases. She understands the level of medical care that all hospital staff must provide to patients, and she recognizes when the failure to do so leads to injuries.
Pharmacist Medication Errors
Misfilled prescriptions often occur when the rushed pharmacist makes an innocent error. This mistake can cost you considerably in terms of medical expenses and loss of wages due to the pharmacy's error.
Pharmacists have one job: to make sure people get the correct medication in the correct dosage. The failure to do so is considered malpractice when it leads directly to an injury or illness. Providing a patient with the wrong medication, wrong dosage or even the wrong interval can all cause serious immediate and long-term injuries.
