Radiology Errors and Medical Malpractice: How Goldberg & Goldberg Fights for Justice

Radiology plays a pivotal role in modern healthcare, offering critical insights through imaging technologies such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. When performed correctly, these tools enable healthcare providers to diagnose and treat conditions effectively.

If you or a loved one has been harmed due to a radiology error, let us provide the expertise and advocacy you need to seek justice.

What is a Radiology Error?

A radiology error occurs when a mistake in imaging interpretation, reporting, or communication leads to incorrect or delayed medical treatment. Common examples include:

• Missed Tumors or Lesions: Failing to detect signs of cancer or other critical conditions.
• Misread Fractures: Overlooking broken bones or improperly assessing their severity.
• Undetected Internal Bleeding: Delays in identifying life-threatening hemorrhages.
• Communication Failures: Miscommunication between radiologists and treating physicians regarding imaging results.

These errors often result in delayed diagnoses, unnecessary treatments, or worsened health outcomes.

Common Causes of Radiology Errors

Radiology errors stem from a variety of factors, including:

1. Rushed Interpretations: High patient volumes can pressure radiologists to evaluate images too quickly.
2. Inadequate Training: Insufficient experience or knowledge in specific imaging techniques.
3. Faulty Equipment or Poor Image Quality: Subpar imaging tools can produce unclear or misleading results.
4. Communication Gaps: Failure to relay critical findings to treating physicians or patients.
5. Systemic Issues: Overburdened radiology departments and lack of proper oversight contribute to preventable mistakes.

Each of these factors represents a breakdown in the standard of care patients deserve.

How Radiology Errors Affect Patients and Families

The consequences of radiology errors can be life-altering:

• Delayed Diagnoses: Conditions such as cancer or organ failure may progress to advanced stages without timely intervention.
• Unnecessary Procedures: Incorrect diagnoses can lead to treatments that are invasive, costly, and harmful.
• Prolonged Suffering: Patients endure unnecessary pain and complications due to medical delays or mismanagement.
• Financial and Emotional Strain: Families face mounting medical bills, lost income, and emotional trauma caused by negligent care.

Understanding these impacts is essential for seeking the compensation victims deserve.
