A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Drug toxicity results from the excessive accumulation of medicine in the bloodstream. Medical errors may be the cause of your injuries resulting from toxic levels of a drug and potentially lead to severe health effects. Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC offers the services of experienced Portland medical malpractice attorneys who can determine if the following errors are responsible for your experiencing drug toxicity.
The effects of drug toxicity may occur immediately or over an extended period and produce undesirable effects. While many complications resulting from drug toxicity are temporary, others can create long-lasting damage. You may have a medical malpractice claim against a doctor, medical team, business, or hospital if you experience the effects of drug toxicity from medical errors by the following:
Pharmacy errors: Giving the wrong medication when filling a prescription can lead to significant drug interactions and toxicity. Overdoses of the proper medication can also occur when patients are given too high a dose. Retain any prescription that you suspect is leading to drug toxicity and contact our Portland medication prescription error attorney.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
Physician errors: Prescribing a medication incompatible with a patient’s current medications, prescribing for too long, or giving too high a dose may create a toxic drug effect. Failing to provide a thorough examination and blood work may lead to toxic drug levels over time.
Anesthesia errors: The brain requires specific oxygen levels to function properly and prevent damage. When anesthesiologists fail to monitor the effects of anesthesia on patients, a lack of oxygen may result in brain hypoxia, which can cause significant brain damage and other symptoms associated with interruption of oxygen flow to the brain.
Nursing home errors: Critical medical errors may result in your loved one’s health decline or even death if nursing home staff fail to provide the prescribed medication either by administering the wrong medicine or the drug of another patient. Because of the compromised health of many nursing home residents, these medical errors can remain undetected until significant damage occurs.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
Drug toxicity may lead to overdose in unsuspecting patients and is a medical emergency. Seek medical care immediately to treat and document these symptoms of drug toxicity:
While drug toxicity from medical errors happens without a patient’s knowledge, the symptoms resemble that of an overdose due to drug use. The Pacific Northwest medical malpractice attorneys with our firm will work tirelessly to determine if a medical error is responsible for your injuries.
