Genetic Testing
Hospitals
Genetic testing is gaining popularity in the United States and so, unfortunately, is genetic testing medical malpractice. Genetic testing can, in many cases, tell parents the likelihood that their children will be born with certain disabilities or medical problems.
But when those tests are misread or misinterpreted, families may face the financial burden and emotional heartache of a disabled child who needs lifelong care and expensive medical attention, or who does not live past childhood.
Many parents seek genetic counseling to prevent any known conditions that would create these kinds of emotional and financial consequences. If a mistake was made in your case, you may be able to bring legal action to help cover the immense medical bills you face. An experienced personal injury law firm, such as Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. can help. Call today at (877) 249-1227 in our Illinois and Wisconsin offices or contact us online.
