Experts in Medical Malpractice Cases: Who Can Testify?

One of the most important components to the success of any Somerset County medical malpractice case is the testimony of medical professionals. They can not only knowledgeably describe the actions taken by other professionals, but why those actions were inappropriate or negligent, and how exactly those actions lead to the injuries you have suffered.

We discuss who can testify in a medical malpractice case, and what this means for your case in Bridgewater, New Brunswick, and Somerset County, NJ. Call us at our Somerville, NJ office at (908) 524-0123, today.

The Dangers of Telemedicine for Somerset County Patients

The data shows that radiologists have been sued for medical negligence more often than cardiologists, plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and gastroenterologists. New Jersey Telemedicine law Senate Bill 291 authorizes health care providers to engage in telemedicine and telehealth, and establishes practice standards and requirements. “Telemedicine,” the application of numerous technologies for the electronic transmission of clinical information, has seen a dramatic increase of “teleradiology” or the ability to obtain medical images (to diagnose diseases and medical conditions within the body) in one location and their transmission over a distance so that they can be viewed and interpreted for diagnostic or consultative purposes by a radiologist.This technology which enables medical professionals to send radiological images with the same ease as an email, has been widely implemented in hospitals, urgent care clinics and specialist facilities that lack adequate onsite professionals trained to analyze images which aid in the process of diagnosis or treatment. Unfortunately, diagnostic errors are common and even a skilled radiologist can overlook or misinterpret certain abnormalities. A delay or a failure in diagnosis of a serious condition, disease (e.g., cancer) or as a result of a personal injury can spell disaster for an individual, especially if a proper diagnosis could have prevented further complications you have suffered, or even the wrongful death of your loved one.
