Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a medication error?

A medication error includes administering the wrong medication, incorrect dose, incorrect route, or failing to monitor for harmful side effects. These mistakes can occur at any point from prescribing to administration.

How long do I have to file a claim after a medication error in Colorado?

Colorado law gives most people two years from the date of the medication error or the date it is discovered to pursue a claim. Certain circumstances can change this timeline, so consult a professional as soon as possible.

What evidence helps in a medication error case?

Medical records, pharmacy logs, and documented injuries serve as key evidence. Witness statements may also strengthen your case, especially if care was provided in a hospital or facility.

Can medication errors happen in pharmacies as well as hospitals?

Yes, medication errors occur in pharmacies, hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other care settings. Anyone responsible for prescribing, dispensing, or administering medication could make a mistake.

What compensation might be available after a medication error?

Potential compensation may include reimbursement for medical bills, lost earnings, and damages for pain and suffering. Each case is different, and damages depend on the facts and documented losses.
