The individual facts of these types of cases are almost without number. They may involve single or multiple vehicles, and include, owners, permissive users of a motor vehicle, licensed, unlicensed, adult or underage, insured or uninsured/underinsured, sober or intoxicated on alcohol or drugs, rage drivers or just plain competent or incompetent drivers.
Premises cases usually occur in places called public accommodations. This simply means places to which the public is invited such as businesses of all sorts, offices, stores, theaters, hospitals, public recreational facilities, such as swimming pools, and bars, etc., but can include an apartment complex, a private location such as a private club, a home or any other physical location.
When we go to the pharmacy, we expect to get exactly what the doctor ordered. This is not always the case. A national report finds nearly 7000 people die every year because of a medication error. In Texas alone, patients file nearly 300 complaints every year about prescription errors and these are only the reported cases.
