Correct and timely diagnosis often depends upon the accurate interpretation of radiology studies. If a condition is overlooked on, for instance, a CT scan or MRI, the patient may suffer a delay in diagnosis. This delay—in the case of many conditions such as cancer, the detection of abnormal brain pathology like tumors, and acute orthopedic injuries—may make eventual treatment much more difficult and costly for the patient, as well as to significantly compromise the benefits of early treatment. When the failure to diagnose a medical condition is due to faulty interpretation of a radiographic study, there may be reason to pursue a meritorious malpractice case.
We will investigate all aspects of your potential claim, including having the suspect study read by an independent radiological specialist. If the misdiagnosis is the result of negligent radiological interpretation, we will work with medical experts to craft a credible, legitimate claim. We will be at your side throughout the process, preparing and filing all necessary documentation, and acting as your advocate in all proceedings, including settlement discussion, mediation or trial, if necessary.
