X-Ray Technician and Doctor Errors in North Carolina
Doctors and surgeons who order X-rays as diagnostic tools need to be able to read and interpret them correctly. X-ray technicians also need to keep patients safe from excess radiation while getting the information required by physicians. Unfortunately, when radiology errors are made, they can lead to mistakes in diagnosis or can injure patients by exposing them to too much radiation.
If you think that a doctor or surgeon made a mistake in diagnosing your condition due to an improperly read X-ray, or believe that the technician made a mistake while taking your X-rays, it is important to talk with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. At the Karney Law Firm in Charlotte, I have more than 30 years of medical malpractice experience and have a successful record of obtaining settlements and verdicts for radiology errors in North Carolina.
Common Radiology Errors Leading to Serious Injuries
Doctors, surgeons and radiologists must follow a standard of care when providing treatment and performing their duties. When this standard of care is not met, it can often lead to serious injuries from errors that include:
- Too much radiation
- Misread X-rays
- Misread CAT scan and MRI test results
- Diagnostic specialist errors
- Delayed X-ray diagnoses
- Failure to communicate between X-ray technicians and physicians
It is important to hire a lawyer who has the experience and legal knowledge to make a difference in your case. At my firm, I work with medical experts and investigators to thoroughly investigate claims of malpractice and to help clients understand their options.
