WKD Law represented John Branch, a U.S. Navy veteran, in a challenging medication error case against The United States of America Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). After bravely serving during the Vietnam Conflict, achieving the rank of Third Class Petty Officer, and leading a successful civilian life, John faced unexpected hardships due to severe medication errors.
John sought treatment for severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to his combat experiences. Prescribed benzodiazepines by the VA, the very drugs recommended against in the Clinical Practice Guideline, John faced adverse interactions and withdrawal symptoms. Increasing doses of opiates for back pain exacerbated the situation.
In 2010, John experienced cognitive disorientation leading to psychiatric care. Adverse drug interactions, including benzodiazepines and pain medications, were identified. A year later, attempting to taper Clonazepam, he faced anxiety, delirium, and suicidal thoughts. Despite restarting medications, he struggled with dosage reduction.
Post-back surgery, a lack of clear instructions led John to discontinue Clonazepam, causing severe confusion and paranoia. Frustrated and confused during a post-op appointment, he disappeared. Three days later, in a psychotic episode, police shot him, resulting in physical and mental anguish.
Pleading guilty but for reason of insanity, John endured ten years at the State Hospital. WKD Law’s advocacy secured a $1,750,000 settlement. Through proper treatment, John was tapered off benzodiazepines, experiencing no further psychotic episodes. His story stands as a testament to the importance of holding accountable those responsible for medication errors, ensuring justice and recovery for those affected.

In the realm of medication errors, accountability extends beyond doctors, encompassing various stakeholders in the healthcare process.
Pharmacists’ Role and Responsibility: Pharmacists play a crucial role in ensuring the accurate dispensing of medications, making them liable for errors in dosage, drug selection, and proper instructions. Their negligence can have profound consequences, leading to severe health complications for patients.
Healthcare Facilities and Systemic Failures: Liability also extends to healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics, where systemic failures in protocols, supervision, or training can contribute to medication errors. Identifying all responsible parties requires a comprehensive investigation, and at WKD Law, we meticulously scrutinize every aspect of the medication process to determine and hold accountable all entities whose negligence may have led to our clients’ suffering.
