When Medical Negligence Turns Deadly
Prescription medications are supposed to heal—not harm. But when doctors, pharmacists, hospitals, or healthcare providers are careless in how powerful medications are prescribed, administered, or monitored, the consequences can be catastrophic. Overdoses caused by preventable prescription errors are not just tragic accidents—they are avoidable failures in patient care.
At Palmetto State Injury Lawyers, we represent families and individuals harmed by prescription drug errors, including fatal and non-fatal overdoses caused by:
- Prescription errors and improper dosing
- Failure to monitor patients after prescribing controlled substances
- Negligent medication administration in hospitals, clinics, or rehab facilities
- Overprescribing opioids and other high-risk medications without appropriate oversight
When medical negligence leads to overdose injuries or wrongful death, we hold those responsible accountable.
This Is Personal for Dana
For Dana, prescription drug overdoses are not just a legal issue—they’re part of her personal story.
Dana has never struggled with addiction herself, but drug abuse and its devastating consequences are deeply woven into her life. She lost her beloved brother to an overdose at just 26 years old. Her father, who also battled addiction, passed away shortly after—his body worn down and his heart broken by his own struggle and the loss of his son.
Dana and her brother grew up in a loving home, knowing they were the center of their father’s world. But love alone couldn’t overcome the disease of addiction.
When you trust Dana with your case, you’re not hiring just another attorney. You’re working with someone who sees you, understands your pain, and will fight for justice with a personal passion few others can bring.
