Appealing a Verdict in a Medical Malpractice Action
Despite the best efforts of your attorneys, the jury in your medical malpractice action ruled in favor of your physician. In your anger and disappointment, you want to appeal the decision immediately!
Liability for Administering Drugs
When prescribing drugs to treat a patient, a physician is expected to use the same standard of care and skill that is normally possessed and exercised under the same circumstances by physicians in good standing in the same or similar locations. In most cases, a doctor is liable for injuries to a patient resulting from the administration of the wrong drug. Some courts have found that the manufacturers' inserts containing use recommendations are prima facie evidence of the standard of care to be followed by physicians in using the medication, but other courts have concluded that this information from manufacturers is admissible only as some evidence as to the standard of care, not rising to the level of prima facie evidence.
