Misfilled prescription errors
If you get a prescription drug from a pharmacy then the pharmacy owes you a duty to use reasonable care filling the prescription. If they don't use proper care and give you the wrong drug, or the right drug with an incorrect label, then they are responsible for any damages that arise from their error. The entire field in California is regulated by a series of statutes in the Business and Professions Code and the Health and Safety Code. If you think you have been wronged in this area then please call me to discuss your problem. There is no charge.
