Walgreens Almost Makes Me Go Blind - Do I Have a Case?
In the first quarter of 2008, I sustained an eye injury that had me rushed to the emergency room, and under an IV. I was given a prescription for eye drops to accelerate the regeneration of flesh on my eye, and I filled it at Walgreens.
About a week after taking my prescription as advised, my eye was still noticably injured. I commenced into seeing my family optometrist to see if he could further diagnose me. He asked what medication I was taking, and I showed him the prescribed bottle. He then informed me that I wasn’t seeing results because my eye was in fact getting worse. I had not been prescibed optic drops, but actually optic drops for the ear. He told me to review who made this error because it could have cost me my eyesight.
After some minor investigating I found walgreens made the mistake, and I confronted them for it. They admitted it was their fault, and simply apologized, not filling my correct prescription in the process. Since this entire experience, I cannot see correctly out of the bottom of my left eye, even with aided vision.
My peers and family have told me to take action numerous times and I have not, though my small eye problem has become a bother. Is it to late to take action?
Will the case win?
Is it worth it?
I still have all of the paperwork, prescription, prescrition box, and written statements from the incident also.
