Can I Sue for Medical Malpractice if I Have an Allergic Reaction?
Medical malpractice is a crime of negligence. When a doctor fails to exercise appropriate caution, it can place an undue burden on the patient, often taking the form of tremendous medical expenses and personal suffering.

This can occur when a doctor makes a mistake that results in a serious allergic reaction. This can take a variety of forms, including:

    • Prescription for a medication that contains a known allergen
    • Use of medical machinery made of products or substances to which the patient is known to be allergic
    • Administration of a medication that negatively interacts with another medication the patient is taking
    • Administration of medication in a dose that is too high for the patient

When any of the above occur, you may experience hives, rashes, difficulty breathing, shutdown of organs and organ systems, brain damage, and another of other very serious consequences. If any of these occur or persist, it can cause additional medical complications, which then require treatment, time, and some degree of discomfort for the patient. When this avoidable damage occurs despite the doctor having sufficient information, they should be held responsible for their actions.

Take note that if neither you nor your doctors were previously aware of an allergy before you experienced your allergic reaction, you may have a much more difficult time proving that your doctor behaved negligently.
