As a popular recreation area in Michigan, it is difficult to imagine anything but good things happening to residents and visitors of St Ignace. From amazing events and activities, to famous attractions and recreational opportunities, St Ignace is the perfect blend of small town living with big city services, events and attractions.
Even in a great city like St Ignace, mistakes and accidents happen and lives are forever altered. In the case of medication errors, one error can cause not only significant injury, but in some cases, death. Hospitals, doctors and pharmacies have spent time putting safety measures in place to avoid this type of mistake but lack of staffing, overwork or just lack of experience may still lead to a medication error.
According to the FDA or U.S. Food and Drug Administration, medication errors are defined as “any preventable event that may cause or lead to an inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient or consumer. Such events may be related to professional practice, health care products, procedures and systems, including prescribing; order communication; product labeling; packaging, and nomenclature ; compounding; dispensing; distribution; administration; education; monitoring; and use”.
While this organization and others do what they can to educate and prevent medication errors, these types of errors continue around the U.S. In fact, close to a million mediation errors occur every year affecting individuals and families alike. If you are one of the many who have been the victim of a medication error, you may be entitled to compensation.
