Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 If the Pharmacy made an error through negligence and you suffered some damage (including pain or suffering) as a consequence, you are entitled to be compensated. Negligence is not the same as an intentional act, and I would think the Pharmacy has insurance to cover for such events. If you did not suffer any damage, even though the Pharmacy may have been negligent, you would not be entitled to recover any monetary compensation. The best thing to do would be to consult your doctor about the possible consequences of having taken that other medication, and then to consult an attorney in your state who is knowledgeable about the applicable law regarding such incidents, including whether there could be any compensation for your wife. The idea is not to be punitive, rather for you to be compensated if appropriate. If you do consult an attorney, make sure it is one who will not charge you, but who will accept the case on a contingency, meaning that if you recover any money, he would get a percentage and if you do not recover, he gets nothing.
