ALLERGIC REACTION/ ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK LAWYERS

Food allergies are a common problem among many people. Roughly 50,000 people are rushed to the emergency room ever year because of an allergic reaction. Even people who are aware of, and take steps to avoid, allergic reactions, are still the victims of an allergic reaction, or even more severe, anaphylactic shock.

In some cases anaphylactic shock can be a result of negligence on behalf of a medical provider and/or a restaurant or public business. You should contact our Pennsylvania allergic reaction lawyers now for a free consultation if you or a loved one has suffered a severe allergic reaction.

Anaphylactic shock is a severe reaction to an allergen that causes the whole body to react and close airways, leading to death if not treated immediately. While these reactions often occur by mistake, there are steps business owners, and even medical professionals should take to prevent these reactions from effecting patrons and patients.

COMMON CAUSES OF ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK

• Common causes of anaphylactic shock as a result of a public place, or as a result of health care negligence include:
• Failure to inform patient of the seriousness of their allergies
• Failing to prescribe an EpiPen (epinephrine) to patients with severe allergic reactions to common foods
• Not getting a medical history, or history of allergens prior to prescribing medication
• Mislabeled products
• Products that do not have the ingredients labeled at all
• No warning sign in a place of business letting patrons know of the possibility of cross-contact
