Nevada Supreme Court Case

I've discussed this case previously on the blog, but the Nevada Supreme Court rendered a decision in Walmart v. Sanchez. This decision has a positive outcome for pharmacists.

The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that pharmacies are not liable for the actions of their customers when those medicated patients cause harm to third parties. The much-anticipated ruling comes in a case filed against Wal-Mart and other local pharmacies involving a Las Vegas woman who killed one person and injured another while driving under the influence of prescription drugs.
