Pharmacist's Negligence

When children get sick the first thing a parent wants to do is make his or her child feel better, and comfort them with love and care.  Parents usually turn to medication when a child is sick, and they expect that the medication to be safe as well as effective.  When a parent chooses to give their child prescription medication, it is essential that the pharmacy and pharmacist that fills that prescription use proper care.  Accordingly, under Florida law, a pharmacy must use proper care in filling a prescription.  Therefore, pharmacists are required to exercise the degree of care that an ordinarily prudent pharmacist would under the same or similar circumstances.  Moreover, a pharmacist has a duty to exercise the standard of care required of the pharmacy profession in the same or similar communities as the community in which he or she is practicing the profession.

A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise a plaintiff that when a pharmacy fills a prescription which is unreasonable on its face, even though it is lawful as written, it may breach this duty of care.  The relationship between a pharmacist and customer is sufficiently close to justify imposing a duty.  However, the courts have generally declined to impose absolute or strict liability without a showing of actual fault on the part of the pharmacist.

If your child is injured due to an medication overdose or dangerous interaction of prescription medication due to the negligence of a pharmacy and/or pharmacist you need an experienced West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer to fight for your child's rights.  The experienced and knowledgeable Florida Child Injury Lawyers of Sharmin & Sharmin P.A. will fight to recover for the compensation and justice your family deserves.  Our experienced team of lawyers and staff will use their skills and knowledge to give your family justice and peace of mind.  Call Sharmin & Sharmin P.A. at 1-800-74-TRIAL.
