The dangers of MRI scan errors

The dangers of MRI scan errors could result in a misdiagnosis or the lack of a diagnosis quickly enough to be able to deal with a particular patient’s problem. MRI scans tend to be highly detailed and highly accurate, but it is still up to the medical professionals reviewing the results to determine what has gone wrong and what course of action needs to be taken.

Many MRI scan errors arise from a medical professional missing something in the results or inadvertently mistaking the results for a different problem. Ultimately, if the diagnosis is incorrect, the course of treatment may be incorrect. This is where people could then suffer and where problems could be exacerbated.

Claiming medical negligence compensation

Anyone who has suffered as a result of MRI scan errors could be entitled to claim medical negligence compensation if the issue arose from some kind of oversight or mistake. If the oversight or mistake then resulted in you suffering for longer than you should have, or suffering additional complications, that is what you could be eligible to pursue in a case.

In simple terms, we view medical negligence cases from two perspectives. The first is about establishing whether you have been the victim of negligence, or whether you have been the victim of an unfortunate incident that could not have been avoided. The process for medical treatment and diagnoses is not always straightforward, and this does not mean that you have been the victim of negligence when something could not have been avoided. However, if it is clear that more could – and should – have been done to have prevented the incident from arising, there may be a case of negligence.

The second perspective is what we call medical causation which means that we must link any negligence to any actual suffering that you have endured. It may be the case that you are lucky in that you do not suffer any additional problems or complications even where you have been the victim of negligence; in which case, there may be nothing to claim for. When you pursue a claim, you are seeking damages for any adverse impact on you, so there must be an impact that is linked to the negligence for you to be able to claim in most cases.  Where we establish that you have been the victim of negligence, and that this caused you to suffer, that is when you could be eligible to pursue damages.
