Inaccurate DNA Test Results
DNA testing has become a powerful tool in modern medicine, family law and personal decision-making. But when a DNA diagnostics laboratory fails to follow proper protocols and delivers inaccurate results, the consequences can be devastating, both emotionally and legally.
CohenMalad, LLP’s malpractice attorneys help individuals and families hold negligent companies accountable when their DNA lab errors cause real harm.
DNA diagnostic laboratories have a responsibility to handle samples with the highest degree of accuracy and care. However, errors can happen when:
- Samples are mislabeled, mixed up, or contaminated
- Chain-of-custody protocols are not properly followed
- Technicians fail to conduct or interpret tests correctly
- The lab lacks proper oversight or accreditation
- Communication failures lead to incorrect reporting of results
When these mistakes occur, they can cause emotional trauma, financial hardship and lasting legal consequences for the individuals involved.
