What sort of a settlement should you ask for when the pharmacy blinds you for 2 weeks with the wrong drug?
Question:
Answers:
Speak to a lawyer, NOW!
DO NOT try to take care of this on your own. Yes...you are entitiled to some type of renumeration. What if it had been filled with something that DID blind you! What if they are filling other scripts wrong, not just yours? An investigation of the pharmacy also seems in order. Just because you escaped unscathed as far as the rest of your life goes.(but, you never know what may happen down the line...it could have done damage you are not aware of that will rear it's ugly head later in life)...they still made a blunder that could have cost you your sight.or your life.
It's not mean.and your lawyer most likely can settle with them without going to court.
I was in a bad auto accident some years ago. We got a small but fair (at the time) settlement without going to court (other drivers fault...)...however, now, 15 years later, my teeth are experiencing problems (my mouth hit the steering wheel) due to that accident (cracks under the fillings I had at the time are causing my teeth to break away in the back)...and I wish now, I had done more at the time.
Cover YOURSELF...do all you can to make sure this doesn't happen to someone else...I understand you not wanting to be be mean and all that.BUT...you have to look out for YOUR best interests right now...cause no one else is going to do it FOR you.

You need to contact a lawyer for the amount of damages for a lawsuit.. If you get one going against the pharmacy..
my best advise for you is to get an Attorney. They can fight with the insurance companies, especially if it's about money.
I would check with an attorney before you answer. Even if you aren't planning on suing you need to know what you're dealing with here legally before you answer them. Keep in mind that if you settle with them now, you may be giving up any future right to sue ... say, if you have any long-term effects from this drug. I'd see an attorney.
Do not agree to anything without talking to a lawyer who deals in these kinds of cases! The insurance company WILL try to screw you.
That is horrible what happened to you! I hope you are all better now.
If I were you I would try to settle out of court. Because if you don't you could drag it on for a year or two! Ask for what you think its worth! Good luck!
If they are calling you tryingto settle dont take anything until you get a lawyer present they will try and downplay anytihng they can, dont answer anything on your own let your lawyer do the talking. the first thing they will try to get you to say is it wasnt bad enough to warrant a law suit.
Unfortunately, an error was made with bad consequences for you. However, no permanent damage resulted. Be grateful. Why do you feel like you need compensation? This world is in the mess its in because people want to sue or be compensated . Money wont change a thing about what happened to you.
