Yes I have been permanently affected due to his negligence but I have no money for a lawyer
Both previous answers are good. Your doctor (or a paid expert doctor) has to confirm that your prescription wasn't properly filled and that caused the repercussions you suggest. Sit down with a good attorney right away and save the medicine you claim is not correct.

Is there a amount that is minimum for lawyers to break even on a case.
The short answer is that the medical industry convinced the Legislature to pass laws stacking the deck in the industry's favor and against patients and their attorneys.

A California attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a month. At this point, you could repost your question in the Medical Malpractice category. But because this is more of a Q & A Board than an attorney referral service, you may get the same results again.

Yes. It begins with expert opinions that the "standard of care" was violated, and that that violation legally "caused" the death.

As far as the ashes, if you paid for them, and are otherwise current in your account with the vet, you are entitled to your property. This would be a Small Claims case as the ashes are... Read more »

Hmm. You "referenced ID'd" (I don't even know what that means, it isn't a legal term) for a person that you don't know, at all, for them to obtain federally controlled substances from a Pharmacist and now you want to know if you could get into trouble? Well, it could... Read more »
