Circumstances That Could Constitute a Medical Malpractice Claim
Medical malpractice occurs under Arizona Revised Statute 12-563 when a healthcare provider fails to act with the amount of care and skill that another reasonable medical professional would provide in a similar circumstance and that failure causes injury.
A person’s injury from medical malpractice can occur in many different healthcare settings from simple physicals to complicated surgical procedures. Some examples of events and actions that could establish a claim for medical malpractice may include the following:
- Birth injuries
- Surgical error
- Medical testing errors
- Failing to treat a medical condition
- Improper medication recommendations
- Inadequate follow-up care and treatment
- Missed or delayed diagnosis of a condition
- Providing the wrong treatment or treating the wrong body part
These failures can result from practitioner inexperience and neglect, understaffed facilities, poor intake and diagnostic methods, and other administrative failures by a medical provider. Our trusted Chandler attorneys can review the details of a suspected medical malpractice event to determine whether there is a viable claim and who could be held responsible.
How Do You Know If Medical Malpractice Was the Cause of an Injury?
The challenge with medical malpractice claims is differentiating injuries that were an ordinary risk of a medical procedure from injuries due to the neglect or misconduct of a treating physician. The process often requires a detailed review of a person’s medical file and consultation from expert witnesses to identify potential malpractice. Our attorneys can provide support by requesting all medical records and enlisting the help of other doctors and experts to review for instances of malpractice.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away.

A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.
Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me.

Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Recoverable Damages in a Medical Malpractice Case
Similar to other personal injury lawsuits, an injured person in an Arizona medical malpractice case could pursue compensation for the following types of past and future damages:
- Medical expenses and costs
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Other applicable losses associated with quality of life and relationships
Arizona’s Constitution protects against damages caps in wrongful death or personal injury cases. This means there is no limit to the amount of compensation a jury could award someone in a medical malpractice case.
It is important to work with a Chandler attorney who has experience handling medical negligence cases to ensure any settlement awards or reward amounts adequately reflect the full extent of losses. Unlike other personal injury firms that focus solely on insurance payouts, our team is not afraid to take matters to court if necessary.
Deadline to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Arizona
Arizona Statute Section 12-542 places a two-year filing period for personal injury claims arising from medical malpractice. This statute of limitations generally begins on the date of the incident causing injury but could be later in some cases where knowledge or awareness of the injury happens later.
