A claim settlement could be an option for you if you believe you were the victim of Georgia medical malpractice because your doctor or healthcare professional gave you the wrong prescription. An Atlanta law firm will be able to see if your case qualifies you to file a claim.

What to Do if Given the Wrong Prescription

In the event that you experience Georgia medical malpractice because of a prescription error, there are steps you need to take to protect your health and to hold the physician in question responsible. 
  • See a doctor for medical care right away if this wrong prescription has made you ill. Make sure to tell him or her about any other medications (prescription or over-the-counter) that you have taken and to bring the medication that caused you illness to the healthcare facility. 
  • Alert the pharmacist and other medical personnel that there has been an error made in your medication. Be sure to contact an Atlanta law firm before giving any statements to the insurance company or hospital legal team. 
  • Gather evidence that will later support your claim, including the prescription slip, instructions from your doctor, the bottle and any remaining medication, any correspondence or documents from the hospital (charts, records, etc.). 
  • Promptly contact a lawyer who specializes in Georgia medical malpractice to see if you have grounds to file for a claim settlement for being given the wrong prescription. 
Do not feel that you have to take on the medical system alone if you are seeking a claim settlement. With the assistance of an Atlanta law firm experienced in these types of cases, you are setting yourself up for a positive outcome if you decide to file for a claim settlement.
