Painkiller Malpractice Lawyer
Representing Doctors Accused of Overprescribing Painkillers
Physicians must be very careful when they prescribe painkillers or opioids, or they can be criminally charged by the state or federal government. The ongoing opioid epidemic has everyone on edge, and some people are quick to point the blame at doctors who write their patients opiate prescriptions. You might have every reason to believe your patient would benefit from a painkiller prescription due to chronic pain, but still, be accused of reckless medical practices or “overprescribing.”

What Constitutes Painkiller Malpractice?
Professional malpractice can be linked to various actions on the part of a medical professional, but it basically boils down to negligence. This means the healthcare provider failed to practice due diligence and recklessly prescribed painkillers to patients who did not need them. This opens the doctor to criminal charges and perhaps civil litigation on behalf of the patient who became addicted, allegedly because the doctor overprescribed painkillers.
