Miami Gardens Pharmacy Negligence

Miami Gardens is a suburban community located outside of Miami. The area is famous as being the home of the yearly Orange Bowl and the home of the Miami Dolphins. The residents of Miami Gardens have access to a number of amenities, including green spaces, two colleges, schools, and medical facilities – such as local clinics and the nearby Jackson North Medical Center, Concentra Urgent Care, and, Chen Medical Center.

Unfortunately, each year residents and visitors to the area are harmed by pharmacy negligence in Miami Gardens and surrounding areas. A member of the legal team from the Flaxman Law Group would be happy to meet with you if you think you may have a pharmacy error case. In many cases, it is difficult to tell whether you have in fact been affected by pharmacy error. Any time that you take a medication and experience serious illness or serious allergic or side effects, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney as well as a doctor. A personal injury attorney in Miami Gardens can investigate the situation and can help you determine whether you have a case.

Pharmacy errors are a key cause of concern for all Florida residents. One recent trend that has caused concern among personal injury attorneys in the state is the proliferation of pharmacies owned by large chains. In the past, pharmacies were small businesses in which trained pharmacists were front and center in helping patients with their medication needs. Today, pharmacies are often contained within larger department stores, discount stores, or even grocery stores. These pharmacies are owned by large corporations, which can create a twofold problem. First, these corporations often try to save money by hiring inexperienced assistance rather than fully trained pharmacists. According to some experts, this can increase the risk of pharmacy errors because inexperienced assistants simply have less experience providing the quality of care that pharmacists can provide. Another problem is that if patients are injured due to pharmacy error or medical negligence in Miami Gardens or Florida, seeking compensation from these larger corporations can be very challenging. Larger corporations have teams of attorneys and powerful resources to help them defend their case – even if they have been negligent and reckless with patient care. It often requires working with a very qualified personal injury attorney in order to seek compensation in these situations.

Pharmacy errors in Miami Gardens and other Florida communities can result in extremely serious injuries, including:

• Respiratory failure

Of you experience these or any other symptoms after taking a medication, stop taking the medication at once and seek medical help. Medical mixups can be extremely dangerous and getting timely help is important.
