Medical Malpractice Attorney in Arizona

Medical professionals and healthcare workers must provide care that meets or exceeds the standard established by the medical community. This allows for all patients to receive the same comprehensive medical care, regardless of their geographic location. When a patient receives treatment that falls short of that standard, and they become injured as a result, it could become a medical malpractice case. 

For example, an individual is undergoing a heart operation. During the surgery, the doctor misreads the patient’s medical information and gives them the wrong blood type. This error impairs the patient’s condition, forcing them to spend more time in the hospital.

Investigate your case: A solid investigation leads to a strong case. An attorney can review your medical records, examine similar cases, and collect other evidence to ensure your case is ready for anything.

Consult medical experts: Testimony from subject matter experts is often crucial in deciding medical malpractice cases.

Negotiate with insurance companies: The insurance company of the at-fault party may offer you a potential settlement to prevent the case from going to court. A medical malpractice attorney can review this offer and determine if it reflects your full compensation amount. If the offer is lower than what you deserve, your lawyer can present evidence and negotiate until an agreement is reached.

Take your case to trial: If the insurance company is unwilling to cooperate, your attorney can fight your case in the courtroom. We understand the price for your pain is infinite, which is why we’ll never settle for less than you deserve. Most cases don’t reach this point because insurance companies know that Morgan & Morgan’s jury awards are often 20 times higher than the pretrial offers.
