Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standards of care in the medical community, resulting in harm to a patient. This can include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management.
A medical malpractice case typically involves a healthcare provider's negligence that leads to patient harm. If you believe your or a loved one's injury resulted from medical negligence, consulting with an experienced attorney like Geoff Trachtenberg is crucial for case evaluation.
Common examples include surgical errors, birth injuries, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, improper medication or dosage, and failure to order appropriate tests or follow up on test results.
In Arizona, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally two years from the date the injury occurred or was discovered. However, certain exceptions can apply, making it essential to consult with an attorney promptly.
Not all unfavorable outcomes from medical treatment qualify as malpractice. There must be evidence that the healthcare provider's negligence directly caused the harm. An attorney can help determine if your case meets these criteria.
Victims may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages if egregious misconduct is involved.
Proving negligence involves establishing that the healthcare provider's actions deviated from standard medical practices and directly resulted in harm. This usually requires testimony from medical experts.
Document all relevant information, seek a second medical opinion if necessary, and consult with a medical malpractice attorney like Geoff Trachtenberg to discuss your situation and legal options.
Arizona does not impose caps on the damages that can be awarded in medical malpractice cases, meaning victims can pursue full compensation for their injuries and losses.
