What Is a Medication Error?
Medication errors occur when a healthcare provider:
- Prescribes the wrong medication
- Prescribes the wrong dose or frequency
- Administers a drug to the wrong patient
- Fails to check for allergies or interactions
- Provides poor instructions for use
- Fails to review or stop medications appropriately
These mistakes can happen in hospitals, GP surgeries, pharmacies, care homes, or private clinics.
Common Consequences of Medication Errors
We act for clients who have experienced:
- Allergic reactions due to incorrect prescriptions
- Overdoses or underdoses
- Worsening of an existing condition due to missed or delayed medication
- Harm from interactions between conflicting drugs
- Serious side effects from being given the wrong drug altogether
If the mistake caused you avoidable pain, illness, or required further treatment, you may be eligible to claim.

- Physical and emotional pain
- Emergency care or hospitalisation
