According to the United States Food and Drug Administration, medication errors cause at least one death each day, and injure well over a million people annually in the United States. Many of these errors take place in hospitals or other medical care facilities.

Medication errors may be caused by poor training of nurses or other medical professionals, confusion between similar product names, or even unclear writing on a medical chart. Common medication errors include administering the wrong medication, and administering the right medication in an incorrect dosage. Some injuries are caused by doctors prescribing medicine that is contraindicated for a particular patient, such as prescribing labetalol to a patient suffering from an asthma attack. No matter how a medication error occurs, the results can be serious, even deadly.

Patients must be able to trust their care providers to administer medicine properly. When a nurse or other professional breaches that duty of care, and a patient is harmed, medical malpractice has occurred.
