The law firm of Hill Peterson Carper Bee & Deitzler, PLLC is taking the reigns on a class action complaint against the Hospital.

The firm has already put out a notice of claim to the hospital stating that ''the class includes hundreds, if not thousands, of West Virginia citizens who have been overradiated.''


The state of West Virginia requires law firms to submit a 30 days' notice in cases of medical malpractice.

Hospital officials released a statement in early March stating that patients who had CT angiography procedures done anywhere between October 9, 2009 to November 23, 2010 had been exposed to unsafe levels of radiation. Patients were notified individually by the hospital, which sent out letters to the patients they knew had undergone the procedure. In addition to the letters, the officials at the hospitals made calls to those affected in order to discuss the possible side effects of the radiation exposure.

The notice does not specify a monetary amount, but does list emotional pain and suffering as ground for the suit. That includes past, present and future mental, as well as physical, pain. They also cite the hospital's negligence as grounds for the suit.
