Negligent Prescription Filling and Instructions - Missouri Pharmacy Malpractice

May 19, 2011, by Benjamin J. Sansone

St Louis pharmacy and nurse malpractice case settles for $100,000.00. My client suffered injury to his eye, specifically his cornea, as a direct and proximate result of the improper dosage instructions given by Walgreens. Soon after retaining Missouri pharmacy malpractice lawyer, Ben Sansone; it was discovered that the injured client called Walgreens with continued complaints, which were clearly documented by the medical records, yet he was instructed to keep taking the same improper dosage of 1 drop per day. This improperly treated the eye infection which lead to injury to the eye, an injury that would have been avoided had the dosage been properly given.

The key to most Missouri injury cases related to health care malpractice, including pharmacist malpractice, is that you need a doctor to testify regarding causation and negligence. See: Proving Medical Damages in Missouri Injury Cases. Both of the victim's local St Louis Missouri treating eye doctors agreed that the corneal scar/hole was a direct result of the improper dosage that failed to clear up an eye infection. Moreover, they agreed that the injury victim had permanent vision problems that cannot be completely corrected. The vision problems include, wearing glasses only for vision correction (no contacts).

As experienced Missouri accident lawyers, we were able to gather the evidence required to settle this case quickly and before filing a lawsuit. Our client was extremely happy with the result of the case.
