If I've suffered a medication error injury, how much is the pharmacy supposed to compensate me for my losses?

A: The precise amount of your claim depends on numerous factors unique to your particular case. In general, however, the categories of damages include:

• reasonable medical expenses in the past and future,
  
• lost wages,
  
• mental anguish,
  
• physical pain,
  
• impairment,
  
• disfigurement (in case of reactions such as rashes).
• punitive damages can be assessed against the pharmacy as well as the individual pharmacist, and loss of life can also be compensated.
