Common Medical Errors That Result in Injury

Any of the above reasons can lead to serious injuries and even death. Mixing up patient's records, administering an incorrect drug or dosage, performing an incorrect surgical procedure, leaving instruments behind after surgery, all can lead to grave and sometimes catastrophic consequences.

A medical professional, whether a doctor, specialist, or nurse, all have a responsibility to perform their duties standardly and with the utmost care for the patient. They also have a code of medical ethics they must abide by. If they fail to do so, contact our Phoenix medical malpractice attorneys so we can help ensure they can be held accountable for any wrongdoings.

Statute of Limitations in AZ Medical Malpractice Case

In Arizona, there is a statute of limitations in place that outlines the time period in which a patient can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. The statute of limitations for medical malpractice accidents in Arizona is two years from the date of injury or discovery of the injury.

It is essential that patients who have experienced medical malpractice accidents seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure that their rights are protected. It is important to note that failing to file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations can result in the case being permanently dismissed, leaving victims without any legal recourse. Patients in Arizona should be aware of the time constraints involved in medical malpractice lawsuits and should act quickly to pursue legal action.
