Legal power stands ready when prescriptions go wrong
Medication Error Lawyers
One wrong dose can turn routine care into crisis, and Florida medical malpractice law arms medication error victims with fast leverage. A Chapter 766 presuit notice unlocks pharmacy logs, bar code scans, and sworn pharmacology reviews before insurers script their defense. Drawing on decades tracking AHCA investigations and Board discipline, I, Percy Martinez, translate those findings into settlements that fund rehabilitation.

Learn the statistics that move juries toward big awards
Florida’s Medication Error Crisis
Medication mistakes injure at least 1.5 million Americans every year and cost $3.5 billion in extra hospital care. StatPearls estimates up to 41 % of admissions now involve a drug error, with seniors twice as vulnerable. Florida’s rate 9.9 errors per 1,000 admissions outranks many states, largely because of our large elderly population. Each avoidable dose mix up violates the standard of care Florida law requires from every prescriber, pharmacist, and nurse. When that standard is breached, Percy Martinez moves fast to preserve evidence, consult pharmacist experts, and protect your claim.
Identify chart mistakes that breach Florida drug safety rules
What Counts as a Medication or Pharmaceutical Error
A drug error can strike at any point prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, or bedside administration. Wrong drug selections, illegible doses, skipped allergy checks, look alike packaging, and unflagged drug interactions each create foreseeable, preventable harm. According to the U.S. Pharmacist review, ten percent of hospital patients experience at least one such error. A Florida jury even awarded $2.4 million after a fatal drug interaction case proved routine labs were ignored. If your chart shows any of these lapses, you likely have a viable malpractice claim in Florida.
Beat the clock and hold every provider accountable
Florida Law: Deadlines and Duties

Providers must meet the generally accepted standard of care for drug ordering, verification, counseling, and monitoring. Percy Martinez files mandatory presuit notices, retains medical experts, and, when needed, demands pharmacy dispensing logs to prove exactly who erred and when.
