What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is the legal term for a physician or health care center’s mistakes that cause patient injuries, illnesses or deaths. When health care practitioners fail to meet the expected standards of care within the medical industry, patients can suffer the consequences. After these preventable disasters,
injured patients may file medical malpractice lawsuits against the at-fault party or parties in pursuit of monetary damages. Patients may secure compensation if they or their lawyers can prove the defendants’ fault for the injuries in question.

Types of Medical Malpractice

A negligent or incompetent health care practitioner could derail a patient’s treatment or recovery in many different ways. Any action or omission that an ordinary medical professional would not have committed in the same circumstances, resulting in patient injury or death, could constitute medical malpractice. The moment you suspect any type of medical malpractice in Arizona, contact our personal injury law firm for assistance.

All forms of medical malpractice could potentially be deadly for patients. Standards of care in the medical industry are high to prevent patient injuries. Even minor mistakes could be devastating to patients. Doing something that falls outside a physician or hospital’s duties of care to a patient is an act of negligence, recklessness or carelessness. This could expose the practitioner or facility to liability for damages.

Medical Malpractice Laws in Arizona

Medical malpractice laws are unique in each state. The statutory rules in Arizona give a deadline of two years from the date of injury to file medical malpractice lawsuits, in most cases. A few exceptions to the rule exist. The discovery exception states that an injured patient may have two years from the date of discovery, rather than the date of injury, to file. If the victim is a minor under the age of 18, the statute of limitations does not start until the child’s 18th birthday. Claimants must file certificates with legal opinions on the legitimacy of the cases to have valid medical malpractice lawsuits in Arizona.
