Medication Errors Lawyers in Memphis
Fighting on Behalf of Medical Malpractice Victims since 1970
Whether it was for a headache or for something far more serious, we’ve all depended on pharmaceutical drugs for some purpose or another at some point in our lives. Doctors rely on drugs to treat patients, too. Patients, in turn, trust that doctors and other healthcare providers know what they’re doing when they prescribe or administer a drug.
What is sometimes forgotten by patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and others is that modern medicines are not magic potions. They are, in fact, dangerous manufactured chemical combinations that can cause not only powerful, beneficial health effects, but also deadly overdoses or allergic reactions, as well.
The wrong drug. The wrong dosage. The wrong amount of time. The wrong patient. Any drug can be dangerous under any of these circumstances. If you are in the Memphis Tri-State Area and would like to speak to a lawyer about a medication error and the possibility of filing a lawsuit, contact Gatti, Keltner, Bienvenu & Montesi, PLC for a free consultation.

Pharmacy Medication Errors
When we leave the pharmacy with a prescription, we assume that we’ve been given the right drug, the right dosage, and the right directions for taking it. More often than not, that assumption is correct. We go home. Our illness or condition improves. There are no adverse effects. All is well.
What you may not know is that pharmacies make a lot of mistakes. In fact, statistics suggest that pharmacy mistakes may account for nearly 100,000 deaths in the United States each year.
What Happened & Why?
Pharmacy-related medication mistakes happen for various reasons but are directly related to the fact that pharmacies are often understaffed. In some of the pharmacy cases we’ve handled, one pharmacist might be responsible to fill hundreds of prescriptions in a single shift while supervising two or three non-pharmacist assistants. This is just one recipe for disaster. Other causes include technology or communication errors, sound-alike or look-alike drugs, and improper instructions. Our medication errors lawyers in Memphis can help you hold the responsible parties accountable for their negligence both legally and financially.

Physician Medication Errors
We trust our doctors when they tell us we need to take a certain drug. The vast majority of the time, we’re rewarded for that trust with improved health. But what happens when a doctor makes a mistake?
It does happen. In fact, statistics tell us more than 1,000,000 are injured and more than 7,000 people die in the United States each year because of medication-related errors.
What Happened & Why?
Medication errors involving doctors can happen for a variety of reasons. In some cases, a nurse or medical assistant might misread a doctor’s handwriting and give a patient the wrong drug or the wrong amount of the right drug. In other cases, the doctor prescribes a drug that shouldn’t have been used, based on a given patient’s medical history or other drugs that the patient is already taking. In others, doctors have prescribed harmful medications on the basis of a wrong diagnosis. In each of these scenarios, serious or fatal consequences may result.

Surgical Errors Lawyers in Memphis
Fighting for Every Dollar to Which You Are Entitled
We’ve all seen the stereotype on TV. It’s the surgeon who thinks he or she can do no wrong. You know the one — every decision is absolutely correct. Every cut is precise. Every action is unchallengeable. The surgeon who thinks the only thing standing between them and the best possible outcome in every case is the blundering assistant who keeps handing them the wrong surgical tools.
In the real world, very few surgeons think or act this way. Most are dedicated, highly skilled professionals who care a lot about both their patients and what they do. Even so, surgical errors are not uncommon.
At Gatti, Keltner, Bienvenu & Montesi, PLC, we respect doctors and the work they do. We also appreciate the difficulty involved with making split-second life-or-death decisions. At the same time, surgeons who make obvious medical mistakes or fail to meet the standards of patient care established by their own medical community ought to be held accountable — for everyone’s safety.
If you have doubts about a bad surgical outcome — contact us today at (901) 526-2126 for a free consultation with our surgical errors lawyers in Memphis.
Don’t Wait to Talk to a Lawyer
By waiting to talk to a lawyer, you could be giving the surgeon and hospital the time and opportunity to limit or avoid responsibility for the harm you’ve suffered. Waiting also allows evidence to become lost. There are also limits on the amount of time in which you have to file a medical malpractice claim. For these reasons and more, we encourage you to take action as soon as possible.
Our attorneys have extensive experience with medical malpractice claims and a nearly 50-year track record of successful results. We have seen cases of surgical error involving operations on the wrong limb or the wrong part of the body. We have also seen cases where surgeons have left surgical tools inside a patient’s body. Surgical errors can also lead to life-threatening infections.
