Cleveland Radiology Mistake Lawyer
Ohio Pathology Lab Errors Attorney
Misread, Miscommunicated and Ignored Test Results
When mistakes are made involving the results of imaging or laboratory tests, patients pay the price. Negligence in reading or communicating the results of tests can lead to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and death.
Experienced Malpractice Lawyers
The medical malpractice attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, represent patients who have suffered serious or permanent harm because of negligence involving lab tests and imaging tests such as MRIs, X-rays and CT scans. We also represent the survivors of those who died a wrongful death because of test-related medical malpractice.
How Radiology Mistakes and Path Lab Errors Happen
Radiology mistakes and pathology lab errors can occur in two main ways:
- Test-reading errors: Radiologists and pathologists can misread tests, erroneously identifying problems where none exist or failing to find evidence of a disease that does.
- Communication errors: Treating physicians can fail to read the test or misinterpret the radiologist's meaning.
To save money, some health care providers send X-rays, MRIs and other imaging tests to radiologists in India or other countries for interpretation. Radiologists may look at hundreds of images a day.
