Phoenix Medical Malpractice Attorneys Offer Free Case Reviews for Victims of Medical Negligence

The medical malpractice attorneys at Phillips Law Group are offering Arizonians free case reviews for those who have been injured from medical negligence.

A victim of medical malpractice is one who suffered from serious and permanent injury directly caused by substandard care treatment or evaluation by a doctor hospital or other healthcare provider.  For more information on medical malpractice, please visit www.PhillipsLaw.com.

Healthcare providers and medical professionals are liable for their negligence under the laws of medical malpractice or medical negligence. Medical malpractice takes place when the professional fails to provide treatment competently or up to the standard of care in the medical community, and can cause injury or death to the patient in most cases involving medical error. If a medical professional breaches the standard of care, and the end result is an injury in the patient, they may be liable for damages. There are many types of medical malpractice cases, some including but not limiting to difficulty with cosmetic implants, defective orthopedic implants, unnecessary operations, operating on the wrong part of the body, giving a person the wrong prescription pill, birth trauma, brain trauma, and failure to diagnose cancer.

The U.S Institute of Medicine states approximately 98,000 patients each year die as a result of medical errors in hospitals. However, only 13 percent of patients who suffer from a serious injury from medical negligence will file a medical malpractice lawsuit.  

It’s advisable to seek legal assistance when one is a victim of medical malpractice. In order to receive compensation for losses, one must show proof of negligence on behalf of the medical professional caring for the person. According to the Phoenix medical malpractice law firm’s website, Arizona attorneys must prove that the medical provider did not meet the adequate standard of care in your or your loved one’s particular case in order to recover monetary losses.
