Seven-Figure Settlement for Improperly Filled Prescription Leading to Permanent Disability
Until a pharmacy accidentally gave her the wrong prescription, the plaintiff was an active and healthy young woman who enjoyed rollerblading, gardening, cooking, and regular exercise. Ten days of the wrong medication however, caused drug-induced lupus. For that she was treated with high-dose steroids. The steroids, in turn, inspired the very serious condition of avascular necroses in both knees and one ankle. She will require two knee replacements, she is in constant pain, and she can perform only a fraction of her previous activities. Worse still, there is not a good treatment available for her ankle and she is at risk of developing the same condition in her other ankle, as well as in her elbows. Kolsby Gordon achieved a seven-figure settlement on her behalf.
