San Diego Radiation Malpractice Attorney

Defending the Rights of Radiation Malpractice Victims

Radiation therapy is an intense treatment provided to many cancer patients who have malignant tumors (tumors which are likely to spread.) Radiation can be applied to a concentrated area of the body to help reduce the growth-rate of a tumor. If radiation is applied incorrectly or improperly, such as in the wrong amount or to the wrong part of the body, it can cause severe injury to a patient. Radiation malpractice causes two main effects:

• Incorporation – When a cancer patient’s body (tissue, cells, and organs) absorbs the radiation.
• Contamination – When a cancer patient is improperly exposed to radiation, his or her skin can become contaminated and radiation may be deposited inside the body.

Radiation malpractice in San Diego, although an uncommon form of medical malpractice, can lead to disastrous results for the victim. Not only are contamination and incorporation extremely painful, they can be life-threatening. Dealing with cancer is already difficult; having to deal with the negligence of a doctor or medical professional is too much to bear.
