When errors in medicine lead to disaster for consumers, there are several parties connected to the pharmaceutical that may be held liable for the damages. Ultimately, who bears responsibility in these cases depends on which of these parties is found negligent.

In a personal injury case, the plaintiff (typically the victim of the error) must prove that the defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff. They must then prove that this duty was breached and that the breaching caused quantifiable or otherwise measurable damages.
That said, responsible parties who may be found negligent in these cases can include:
- Pharmacists

- Pharmacy technicians
