Whenever you go to your local pharmacy or are otherwise purchasing a medication prescribed by your doctor, keep in mind that prescription drug errors account for a large percentage of medical malpractice lawsuits in Pennsylvania and all across the U.S. If you have sustained an injury or illness because the medication was mislabeled or there was no proper warning of side effects, you may be able to bring a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and other parties liable for mislabeling the drug or failure to warn of side effects. However, doctors may also be held liable for this type of medication error.
