Radiologists, pathologists, and lab technicians play an important role in properly diagnosing and treating patients. With a thorough and diligent radiology team, doctors can quickly identify and treat internal injuries and may provide better and more comprehensive care to those suffering from life-threatening illnesses such as cancer.
However, when a radiologist, pathologist, or lab technician does not devote the time and attention necessary for their job, it can cause patients and their families to suffer. A Palm Beach County radiology error lawyer can help individuals and families who have been the victim of a radiology error. Established medical malpractice attorneys can help those affected by radiology errors recover compensation for their injuries and losses.
Radiologists and other members of a patient’s radiology team have an important job in performing medical diagnostic tests such as CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, and mammograms. It is not only important that a radiologist and their staff properly perform these diagnostic tests, but it is also critical that a radiologist properly examine and review these tests to identify any abnormalities and potential ailments a patient may be suffering from.
Some of the most common causes of radiology errors include:
Because radiology tests are often used as a diagnostic tool, a radiology error can be particularly dangerous because it can mean that serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, brain injuries, pulmonary embolisms, internal bleeding, and hemorrhaging can go undiagnosed and subsequently untreated, which can have a direct negative impact on a patient’s health and wellbeing. A Palm Beach County radiology error lawyer can help those harmed by medical negligence.
We represent clients who have suffered damages due to pathology, radiology and lab errors, including:
While radiologists go through extensive education and training, unfortunately, radiological errors are common throughout the healthcare system. According to the American Journal of Roentgenology, approximately four percent of radiological interpretations contain some mistake.
A radiological error can have a significant impact on a person’s overall health. A radiological error may mean that an abnormal test will be interpreted as normal and a patient will not receive the care and treatment they need or cause a doctor to make a wrong diagnosis.
A radiology error attorney will investigate the specific consequences of a radiological error and can help pursue compensation for past, present, and future medical costs, rehabilitation costs and expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
A Palm Beach County radiology error lawyer can work closely with patients and their families, as well as medical experts and industry professionals to help prove the unique circumstances and injuries in a particular case.
If a radiological error caused you or a loved one to suffer an injury, it is important to understand your legal rights. A Palm Beach County radiology error lawyer can help explain your rights, investigate the causes of a radiology error, and can work with a team of professionals to help pursue the compensation you deserve.
