Pittsburgh Radiology Errors Lawyers

Holding Providers Accountable for Diagnostic Oversights

Diagnostic imaging tools, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, mammograms, and ultrasounds, are essential for detecting fractures, internal bleeding, blockages, and developing diseases. 

However, a scan is only as reliable as the specialist reading it. When a radiologist misreads an image, overlooks a clear abnormality, or fails to communicate urgent findings to an attending doctor, patients lose critical time needed to treat dangerous conditions.

Radiology errors are not always caused by the radiologist.  Sometimes your primary care doctor or another specialist might ignore or miss critical diagnostic findings.  Because radiology errors can have devastating results, in Pennsylvania, a radiologist is required to inform a patient of any significant abnormality.  If you have received one of these letters, you should make sure you speak with your healthcare professional immediately.  

If a misread scan or delayed radiology report caused your health to decline, AMG Law can provide the help you need. We represent patients and families across Western Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia to determine whether an imaging mistake broke medical safety standards. Where that has occurred, we fight to secure the compensation you deserve through a claim or lawsuit.

Our Legal Process in Radiology Malpractice Claims

Proving a radiology error requires comparing original imaging files against standard diagnostic protocols to show what should have been identified. Our team at AMG Law handles every aspect of the legal process.

• Retrieving original high-resolution images: We obtain full-resolution digital imaging files, not just written text summaries, to look for technical accuracy.
• Independent radiologist reviews: We partner with board-certified radiologists who independently analyze the scans to confirm where the original interpretation fell short.
• Establishing communication failures: We examine hospital order logs and physician notes to determine if critical diagnostic findings were properly delivered to treating doctors.
• Protecting you from defense tactics: We manage all communications with hospital risk management teams and insurance companies; you are not pressured by these parties, allowing you to focus on healing.
