Radiology Lab Injury Lawyer

When you are under a medical professional’s care and sent to a radiology facility for testing, you could easily be very preoccupied with the worries or concerns about what these tests or images might reveal. But what is unlikely is that you are fixated on the possibility of a slip and fall or trip and fall injury occurring while you are at the facility for your MRI, X-ray, CT Scan, or other tests that require this specialized equipment. But sadly, more and more incidents of injuries are being reported at these testing facilities. The cause could be more people being referred for testing or the staff at these facilities being reduced to keep costs more reasonable. But the sad truth is that patients who are going to these radiology facilities need to be very aware of their surroundings and watch out for common safety hazards that are not being properly addressed by the staff:

Common Safety Issues Found In Many Radiology Lab Facilities
You might think that a healthcare facility or laboratory where they run medical tests would be very safe and well-maintained. But that is not always the case. These facilities are often understaffed, and the issues that are routinely encountered are not swiftly resolved or acknowledged. Patients in these labs need to be very careful and watch for these common safety hazards to avoid suffering further injuries due to a slip and fall or trip and fall:

• Food or drinks spilled on the floor
• Wet floors that were recently mopped but do not display any warning signs to alert patients of the increased potential for a slip and fall incident
• Water lines or hoses that are leaking onto the floors
• Missing, damaged, folded, or saturated floor mats
• Damaged or missing safety handrails at steps or ramps
• Damaged floor coverings
• Chipped, cracked, or damaged floor surfaces or pavement in the parking lot or on walkways
• Litter or trash left on floors or in parking areas
• Electrical cords or vacuum hoses left in walkways
• Poorly marked or unmarked transitions from one flooring surface to another or from one elevation to another, such as steps or ramps

The most upsetting part about these common safety issues is that it takes only a moment to correct the issue or eliminate the safety hazard. But in too many cases, the staff at a radiology lab fails to provide the care needed to prevent patients from suffering severe injuries.

The Duty Of Care Obligation Of Radiology Lab Staff
Much like the legal obligation of a homeowner, the staff of a medical facility or any business such as a radiology lab must follow the requirements of premises liability law. These are the rules and laws created to ensure the safety of guests on any public or private property. They explain the level of care and maintenance required to keep the property hazard-free and safe for others. Duty of care goes on to define the level of care that must be provided when a safety issue is located by the staff or is reported by a guest or patient.

In these cases, the staff must provide at least the same level of care as would be given by the average prudent person. For example, if you see water spilled on the floor, you mop it up immediately to prevent anyone from falling. If the staff does not deliver the level of care that is needed to eliminate the hazard, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the staff negligence caused or contributed to the harm of a guest, the property or business owner can be liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim because of their injuries. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today if you feel the injuries you suffered at the radiology lab facility were the result of staff negligence and a lack of attention to their duty of care.

How Much Is My Radiology Lab Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Victims of a personal injury at a radiology lab must know that the court awards no predetermined compensation amounts for specific injuries. Instead, each case is independently evaluated, and the compensation awarded to the victim is based on the victim’s actual losses and expenses. Working with your Normandie Law Firm radiology lab injury lawyer, you will gather all the documentation to verify your allowable expenses used in calculating your compensation amount. Items that are most often used in the process include but are not strictly limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident at the lab
• The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating the radiology lab injury lawsuit
• The cost of all current and projected medical expenses related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the injuries suffered at the lab
• Your lost income if the harm you suffered at the lab prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed and the medical professionals handling your care released you to return to work

In cases involving severe injuries requiring a lengthy treatment and healing period, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount or item, your Normandie Law Firm legal team will provide guidance in selecting a reasonable amount for this aspect of the compensation sought by your lawsuit. They typically refer to recently resolved cases involving similar injuries and details to ensure they recommend a fair and reasonable amount.

What Is The Time Limit To File My Radiology Lab Accident Injury Lawsuit?
As the victim of a personal injury, you are given two years from the date of the incident to file your claim with the court. If the case is not in the hands of the court in that allotted time, you will lose the right to pursue legal action after the two years expire. In addition, please know that there are limited exceptions that would provide a victim with added time to file a lawsuit once the original time limit has passed. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to learn more.

No Added Stress Or Legal Fees
When you decide to hire Normandie Law Firm to handle your radiology lab injury lawsuit, you never need to feel added pressure or stress because of upfront legal fees or expenses you need to pay. Our firm understands that most injury victims face countless hardships, including limited funds to live on until their lawsuit is resolved. Therefore, our firm only gets paid for our time and investment in the case once the matter is resolved. At that time, you will have the compensation that includes funds for you to cvoer your legal costs and other expenses.

Please also know that if your Normandie Law Firm legal team fails to win the case and deliver the funds you need to pay your bills and expenses, you owe the firm nothing. Our pledge to each client is that we will always put their needs first in everything we do and never ask for any payment if we fail to meet our promise to provide resolutions instead of added challenges. Please reach out to our staff today to discuss your case and the possible solution provided by a lawsuit.
