The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C.
We trust nursing home healthcare professionals to know what prescriptions and dosages are appropriate for our loved ones. For many of us, that is the main reason for placing an elderly relative or dependent adult in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Therefore, when prescription errors occur, we have the right to bring negligent healthcare providers to justice.

At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C., we stand up for the rights of the elderly and their families in Massachusetts. As experienced Worcester prescription errors attorneys, we seek maximum compensation on behalf of clients who have suffered injury or wrongful death as a result of medical malpractice and nursing home negligence.
Although aging is a natural part of life, modern medicine is designed to help the elderly maintain a comfortable standard of living. As such, any mistakes in prescription medication or misdiagnosis can lead to serious health problems or even wrongful death. Typical medication errors include:
- Failing to give daily medication
- Giving the wrong medication
- Giving the right medication to the wrong patient
- Accidentally giving medication beyond the recommended dosage (overmedicating)
- Combining medicines that work against each other or create harmful effects if combined
- Deliberately overmedicating to sedate a patient
All nursing home negligence cases must first be reviewed by a medical tribunal before we can pursue legal action. Once a determination is made that standards were not followed, our Massachusetts lawyers work diligently to investigate all evidence, including medical records, doctors' reports and care charts to build an effective case. We then aggressively pursue full and fair compensation on behalf of our clients through negotiation or litigation.
Preventing Further Injuries Through Dedicated Representation
While accidents do happen, most prescription errors and misdiagnosis can be prevented. We know that pursuing individual cases against careless healthcare workers can lead to permanent, long-term solutions that work to prevent future errors from occurring.
If your loved one has been a victim of nursing home negligence, contact our firm to discuss your case in a free consultation and case evaluation with one of our Massachusetts misdiagnosis attorneys. We represent clients in Worcester and elsewhere in Massachusetts.
