Settlement for woman who received incorrect medication from local pharmacy

HOMS Assist successfully brought a medical negligence action on behalf of a patient against a pharmacist who dispensed the wrong medication to her.

The patient took the incorrect medication that she thought had been prescribed for her for almost two weeks.

As a result the patient suffered symptoms associated with the incorrect medication and also continued to suffer with the symptoms that the correct medication would have treated.

Liability was admitted at an early stage.

The team at HOMS Assist succeeded in securing a settlement without having to wait for the case to be assigned a hearing date.

We have over 50 years expert legal experience advising such patients.
