Significant six-figure recovery
An 80-year-old man from Pittsburgh was on a regular medication called Coumadin, which is a blood thinner. His prescription was filled at a local pharmacy. The pharmacy made a mistake and gave him a dose of Coumadin that was more than double the strength he was supposed to receive. As a result, he developed severe internal bleeding and nearly died. He underwent a major surgery and was hospitalized for nearly a month. Surprisingly, this elderly, vibrant gentleman survived. We obtained a significant six-figure recovery against the pharmacy that improperly filled the prescription.
