The Utah Supreme Court last month held that a prescriber of drugs has a duty to third parties injured by the conduct of the patient following the consumption of the medication. In the case of B.R., a Minor Child and C.R., a Minor Child, through their Conservator, William M. Jeffs v. Trina West, Hugo Rodier and John Does I-X, (Utah, 2012), the Court overturned a lower court dismissal of a case for lack of duty. The Plaintiffs are the two surviving children of David Ragsdale, who killed their mother after taking the medication prescribed by Ms. West, a nurse practitioner. The drugs prescribed were Concerta, Valium, Doxepin, Paxil, pregnenelone and testosterone.
