You need to have your medical records reviewed by your doctor, or someone else of his specialty, to render an opinion as to whether the delay of obtaining your medication caused and/or contributed to your nerve damage. Also need a neurologist to opine that your nerve damage is permanent and could have been avoided had you timely taken your medication. If these facts are established by expert medical opinions, then you may have a case, especially if it can be established that the pharmacy knew, or should have known, that the timely dispensation of your medication was crucial to prevent the injury you in fact sustained. You may need an expert in the field of pharmacology. Pharmacy's have no particular immunities. I successfully sued a major pharmacy for dispensing the wrong dosage of a corticoroid (prednisone) rather than dispensing .5 mg tablets of the drug, the pharmacy dispensed 50 mg tablets! The pharmacy settled with me prior to going to trial.
