"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

Pharmacy Negligence

Fort Lauderdale Medication Error Attorneys Advocating for Clients Injured by Pharmacy Negligence

Protecting the rights of South Florida victims of injury from medication errors in the pharmacy

Pharmacy negligence is not something that most consumers are aware of or worry about. After your visit to the doctor, you stop by your neighborhood pharmacy with prescription in hand and give it to the pharmacist behind the counter. You probably don’t stand there worrying if they will get it right and dispense the correct drug in the appropriate dosage. You simply trust that the pharmacist knows what he or she is doing, and that when you take your medication home it is all correct. This is true until the pharmacist makes a mistake and you or a loved one suffers harm because of pharmacy negligence.

At Yeboah Law Group our Fort Lauderdale medication error attorneys hold pharmacists in Miami-Dade, Fort Lauderdale and throughout South Florida accountable for their negligent actions or their failure to act that causes injury to our clients. We investigate your case, determine who is at fault and hold the responsible parties liable for your injuries.

Examples of pharmacy negligence

There are many different forms of error and negligence that can occur behind the pharmacy counter. In a 10-year study of closed claims with a pharmacy group insurance underwriter, study authors found that 75.3% of closed claims for pharmacy errors arose from patients receiving the wrong drug (43.8%) or the wrong does of the correct drug (31.5%). Between 2002 and 2011, overdose occurred 13.6% of the time and 11.7% resulted in fatalities. Some examples of pharmacy negligence include:

Patients can be given the prescription for another customer with a similar name
Two medications with similar sounding names can be mixed up
Improper compounding of a medication
Dispensing the wrong dose of the right medication
Wrong medication
Failure to monitor dangerous drug interactions
Incorrect dosing instructions
Failure to adequately counsel patients

What is required to prove pharmacy negligence?

Pharmacists are professionals who are trained to do the precise and important work of filling prescriptions as requested by your doctor. In a case of pharmacy malpractice, as the plaintiff you would carry the burden of proving the following:

The pharmacist owed you a duty of care as a customer
That their actions breached their duty of care
The breach caused your injury
Damages resulted from your injury

Damages from a pharmacy negligence lawsuit

In cases where a person was given the wrong medication and it caused a delay in treatment and a progression of their disease, or in extreme cases when dosing of a medication was wrong and caused the patient to die, a lawsuit cannot redeem the time lost or the loved one that was lost. A lawsuit can, however, hold the negligent party responsible for their actions and serve to force a change in procedures so that the same type of mistake does not occur again.

Compensation for an injury from a pharmacy error includes compensation for lost wages, additional medical expenses, disability, pain and suffering. In cases of a patient’s death, surviving loved ones may be able to file a wrongful death action with punitive damages where appropriate.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury due to pharmacy negligence, the trusted Fort Lauderdale medication error lawyers near you at Yeboah Law Group are here to help. There is no need to worry about how to pay for an attorney to represent you because we accept cases on contingency. So, you only pay legal fees when we win compensation for you.
