Pharmacy Malpractice And Mis-Fills

Pharmacy Malpractice & Mis-Fill Lawyer in Miami: Get the Justice You Deserve

Serving South Florida From North Miami Since 1988

When a pharmacy error disrupts your health or the life of someone you love, the consequences can be severe and unexpected. The physical harm, emotional distress, and financial burdens that follow a mis-fill often require more than just medical correction—they demand skilled legal action.

At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we bring over 35 years of experience representing victims of pharmacy malpractice throughout South Florida. If a pharmacy dispenses the wrong medication to a customer, and the customer takes the medication, and as a result suffers serious medical complications, the pharmacy will be liable for the resulting damages. Our firm is here to hold negligent pharmacies accountable and secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is Pharmacy Malpractice & Mis-Fill?

Pharmacy malpractice occurs when a pharmacist or pharmacy staff fails to meet the standard of care, such as dispensing the wrong medication, dosage, or instructions, leading to patient harm. Pharmacy errors and mis-fills happen far more often than is generally known. Often, no serious injury or damages result. But sometimes, the results can be extremely serious.

Even a small mistake can trigger life-altering health complications or death.

Common Causes of Pharmacy Malpractice & Mis-Fill Cases

Pharmacy errors can arise from various oversights. At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we’ve handled cases involving:

  • Wrong Medication: Dispensing a drug different from the prescription.
  • Incorrect Dosage: Providing too much or too little of the intended medication.
  • Mislabeling: Incorrect instructions or patient names on bottles.
  • Failure to Check Allergies: Ignoring known drug sensitivities or interactions.
  • Mixing Up Patients: Giving one person’s medication to another.
  • Inadequate Counseling: Not warning about side effects or usage risks.
  • Overworked Staff: Errors due to understaffing or rushed service.

Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of Pharmacy Malpractice Injuries

Pharmacy mis-fills can wreak havoc on your health. Symptoms may appear suddenly or worsen over time, necessitating immediate action.

Common Symptoms of Pharmacy Malpractice Injuries:

  • Nausea, vomiting, or dizziness
  • Allergic reactions (rashes, swelling)
  • Worsening of original condition
  • Confusion or lethargy
  • Heart palpitations or breathing issues
  • Unexplained pain or fatigue

Long-Term Effects:

  • Organ damage (e.g., liver, kidney failure)

  • Chronic illness or new conditions
  • Emotional distress or PTSD
  • Need for hospitalization or corrective treatment
  • Risk of death in severe cases

Why You Need a Pharmacy Malpractice & Mis-Fill Attorney

Pharmacy malpractice cases are intricate. Pharmacies and their insurers often deny errors or blame the prescribing doctor to avoid liability. Without expert legal support, you risk receiving far less than you need for medical care, lost wages, and recovery.

At Mark Wolin’s Law Office, We Will:

  • Investigate the pharmacy’s error with precision
  • Gather prescription records, medication logs, and expert testimony
  • Prove the link between the mis-fill and your injuries
  • Negotiate with insurers or litigate for a fair outcome
  • Fight for full compensation for your suffering and losses

Our investigative journalism background and trial experience help us uncover the truth in complex pharmacy cases.

The Value of a Pharmacy Malpractice & Mis-Fill Case in Florida

The worth of a pharmacy malpractice claim depends on injury severity, future medical needs, life impacts, and the pharmacy’s negligence.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation For:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Corrective treatment or therapy costs
  • Long-term care or monitoring
  • Loss of quality of life

Mark Wolin has secured substantial settlements and verdicts for pharmacy malpractice victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties. We collaborate with medical experts, pharmacologists, and care planners to ensure your claim’s full value.

Past Verdicts - Pharmacy Malpractice & Mis-Fills Case

For years, our client Maria, a child care worker and mother of four, had her doctor’s prescriptions filled at the neighborhood branch of a well known drug store chain.

One day, the pharmacy made a whopping blunder. In filling Maria’s prescription, they gave her medication intended for another customer, but dispensed it to Maria labeled with Maria’s name and address on it.

Maria took the medication for several days, when she developed a serious reaction to the medication, and discovered that the drug she was taking was not intended for her but for someone else. Unfortunately for Maria, the pharmaceutical error resulted in the permanent aggravation of pre-existing respiratory condition that would compromise both the quality and length of her life.

After some hard fought litigation, a confidential settlement resulted.
