        "text": "Whether you can sue if a medication error occurred without serious injury depends on the specific circumstances and the laws of your state. Generally, to pursue a personal injury claim, you must demonstrate actual damages and harm that resulted directly from the negligence. If the error caused no discernible injury, or only very minor, temporary inconvenience without significant medical costs or suffering, a lawsuit may not be viable or cost-effective. An attorney can evaluate your situation to determine if you have a strong enough case to pursue legal action.",
