When patients turn to healthcare providers, they place their trust in professionals who are expected to uphold the highest standards of care. Unfortunately, medication errors are a stark reminder that this trust can sometimes be misplaced. These mistakes can lead to devastating injury, including illness, long-term health issues, or even death. At Van Wey & Metzler, we are committed to holding negligent providers accountable and helping families seek justice when medication errors occur.
