If your loved one died in reaction to a medication, do not assume that there was no human error involved. Some people have allergic reactions to drugs that doctors are not aware of, and die suddenly without warning. In many other cases, however, notations on medical charts concerning allergies to medications are overlooked or ignored and physicians prescribe the same drugs that caused problems in the past.
Medication errors are one of the most common types of medical malpractice. A fatality that can be traced to a wrong medication, a wrong dosage, a negligent anesthesiologist or a deadly interaction between drugs and alcohol should be thoroughly investigated. Who knew or should have known that the patient was allergic to a drug, had a history of alcohol abuse, was taking another medication or otherwise was at risk in connection with a prescription drug? Was a doctor, a nurse, an anesthesiologist or a pharmacist to blame in connection with a fatal drug reaction?
