Couple Files Lawsuit against Radiologists Alleging Medical Negligence

Did your radiologist fail to diagnose your medical condition or fail to communicate with you in a timely manner? If so, you may be able to take legal action for radiology malpractice.

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), radiology problems leading to a medical malpractice lawsuit usually stems from a failure to diagnose. Failure to diagnose accounts for about 40-54 percent of radiology-related medical malpractice cases, according to the NIH. The majority of those errors are attributed to the radiologist misreading or misinterpreting films. As a result, a patient can suffer serious consequences.

A West Virginia couple recently filed a lawsuit alleging two radiologists provide substandard medical care and treatment, resulting in injuries.

According to the complaint, the defendant was negligent in examining the patient’s radiology reports. As a result, her condition went undiagnosed and she suffered severe pain and discomfort for two months. Ultimately, the patient was required to undergo a total hip arthroplasty to correct a right hip fracture displacement.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in damages.

A medical malpractice lawsuit can seek damages to cover medical expenses and compensate the plaintiff for loss of income, pain and suffering, and other damages. While an experienced medical malpractice attorney can be a strong advocate in the fight for justice, doctors and other healthcare professionals are backed by large insurance companies who will deny, delay, and defend claims hoping the innocent victim will give up. Most plaintiffs don’t have the financial staying power to wait; financial concerns typically mount and cause undue stress.  Seeking a lawsuit cash advance can provide immediate cash to see a case through to a much higher settlement.

Lawsuit funding is very different from a traditional bank loan; it does not require upfront fees, a credit check or employment history. All that is required for to be eligible for a lawsuit cash advance is attorney representation and a strong, winnable case. Repayment is made once the case settles, but if the plaintiff loses, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance.

When pursuing a lawsuit puts a strain on your finances, lawsuit funding can provide a feasible financial lifeline to support your case and living expenses. The application process is quick and easy online or over the phone, and with your attorney’s support, the funds can be available for use within 24 – 48 hours.
