Introduction

Getting the wrong person’s medication is a serious form of medical negligence that can occur in hospitals, pharmacies, or care facilities. This error often results from miscommunication, mislabeling, or failure to verify patient identities before administering medication. The consequences can range from mild side effects to life-threatening reactions, depending on the medication and the patient’s health condition.
Healthcare professionals are expected to follow strict protocols to ensure patient safety. However, when they fail to meet these standards, patients can suffer severe harm. If you or a loved one has been affected by receiving the wrong person’s medication, Prospect Legal is here to help you seek justice and fair compensation.

What are Wrong Person Medication Negligence Claims?

Wrong person medication negligence claims arise when a patient suffers harm due to being given medication intended for another person. To establish a medical negligence claim, the following elements must be proven:

✅ Duty of Care – The healthcare provider was responsible for administering the correct medication to the correct patient.
✅ Breach of Duty – The provider failed to verify the patient’s identity or dispensed the wrong medication.
✅ Causation – The negligence directly caused harm to the patient.
✅ Damages – The patient endured physical, emotional, or financial hardships due to the error.

Wrong person medication claims can result from errors in dispensing, administration, or patient identification.
