Can I Sue a Doctor for Prescribing the Wrong Medication?

Medication errors are more than simple mistakes; they can cause life-altering physical, emotional, and financial damages. When the responsible party needs to be held accountable, turn to Simon Law. We’ll analyze every angle of your case—what went wrong, who dropped the ball, and how to quantify the damages—helping you fight against medical malpractice and receive the compensation you deserve.

Case Study: How Simon Law Holds Negligent Doctors Accountable

Simon Law recently achieved victory on behalf of a client who was inappropriately prescribed over 30,000 Schedule II narcotic opioids for undiagnosed lower back pain. Despite early warnings from the patient about potential addiction and multiple pharmacies alerting the doctor about excessive dosages, the physician not only continued the treatment but also increased the dosage and provided early refills. This directly led to patient harm, as the inappropriate dosage put the patient at risk of adverse health effects—a clear breach of the duty to provide safe and appropriate care.

The jury awarded $2.6 million in compensatory damages for immediate suffering, along with $15 million in punitive damages against the doctor for his egregious actions.

This case not only resulted in a $17.6 million verdict for our client, but it also led to wide-scale changes in the medical field. Simon Law’s work has become a landmark example in the fight against the opioid epidemic, highlighting the role negligent doctors played in perpetuating the crisis. The case is routinely presented to physicians at continuing education seminars as a cautionary tale. It prompts institutional healthcare providers to implement new policies to prevent future misconduct of this kind.
