Radiology Malpractice Lawsuits: Bringing or Defending Claims for Medical Errors, Omissions
Proving or Challenging Causation, Leveraging Experts, Assessing Damages, Negotiating Settlements
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
As medical technology advances, radiologists have more responsibility for patient diagnoses, increasing their exposure to medical malpractice lawsuits. Lawsuits typically allege failure to detect an abnormality, errors in interpreting findings, failure to recommend appropriate follow-up, or inability to communicate with the patient or referring physician in a timely or suitable manner.
Medical malpractice attorneys--both plaintiff and defense--must navigate several unique and complicated legal and medical-legal issues when representing clients in lawsuits against radiologists.
Listen as our authoritative panel of medical malpractice attorneys discusses considerations and strategies for bringing or defending malpractice claims against radiologists, including addressing causation and damages, working with experts, settling cases, and more.
