Negligent Health Care Centers/Testing Labs

People frequently use Health Care Centers (aka Urgent Care Centers) as their primary place to receive medical care. Blood tests, PAP smears, x-rays, imaging tests, MRI’s, ultrasounds, CT scans and lab tests are often done at these types of facilities. Health Care Centers are held to the same standard as hospitals. Errors at a Health Care Center can result in life threatening results. Patients often undergo laboratory tests to diagnose and monitor diseases and illnesses. Lab technicians are responsible for getting accurate information to the patient’s treating physician for further care. Inaccurate information can often result in errors in treatment or a failure to treat a serious condition. Below are samples of successes obtained by Attorneys Kampinski and Schneider in the realm of Negligent Health Care Centers and Testing Labs...

$ 4.75 million settlement: A 74 year old patient died during a dialysis catheter. The patient was not monitored during the procedure and the central access catheter became disconnected from the machine causing the patient to hemorrhage and fall to the floor unconscious. She suffered brain damage and later died from a staph infection.

$ 2 million settlement: A lab test was erroneously interpreted as positive after a cancer patient underwent genetic testing. As a result, the patient underwent removal of her remaining breast, her uterus and ovaries. Subsequent testing found that she did not have the gene mutation as previously reported.

$ 2.6 million verdict and settlement: An oral surgeon was found liable for a failure to remove all of a growth on a patient’s tongue. The pathologist in the case misread the pathology slides.

$ 700,000 settlement: A hospital and doctors were liable following the failure to properly anti-coagulate a patient. The patient underwent a total right knee replacement and had a history of atrial fibrillation. The result was a devastating stroke which left her wheelchair bound and nursing home dependent.
