Medical professionals are sworn under oath to cause no harm and treat every patient who comes into the best of their abilities. However, at the end of the day, doctors and medical professionals are human just like the rest of us, and mistakes can happen. The difference is that these mistakes can lead to serious consequences and put the health of your or your loved ones at risk. In 2019, it was reported that around 3,000 deaths happened in Phoenix hospitals due to medical malpractice.

Recent studies place medical malpractice as one of the leading causes of death in the United States alongside heart disease, respiratory diseases, and cancer. While this is a startling fact in and of itself, other medical malpractice statistics in 2024 include:
Medical malpractice lawsuits cover a wide range of medical events and instances. The Shapiro Law Team handles medical malpractice cases involving birth-related injuries, errors during surgery, medical negligence, hospital malpractice, nurse malpractice, RX medication injury, failure to diagnose, and nursing home abuse.
Certain medical malpractice cases also have liability issues that can make the case more complicated, including:
Arizona medical malpractice laws require a victim to prove that the medical professional in question failed to meet the standard of care in some capacity and that this failure led to their current injuries.
The statute of limitations for a medical malpractice case is two years from the date of the event, meaning you have up to two years to file your claim.
The medical field has many obstacles in place to protect itself and avoid responsibility for its mistakes to protect its reputation. You need a medical malpractice law firm on your side to navigate these obstacles and make sure the right people take responsibility for their actions. Shapiro Law Team is ready to take the stand and fight alongside you for the compensation you deserve.
Since the medical field is a more complicated realm to navigate, two main issues make medical malpractice cases more difficult to win. For starters, proving that the medical provider was negligent can be tricky if you do not know the ins and outs of medical procedures and regulations to prove that the medical professional went against them.
Secondly, it can be difficult to prove that your injuries were directly caused by medical malpractice. If you were already sick or injured when you sought medical care, then it can be tough to prove that the medical professional’s actions made the condition worse.
Working with a Phoenix medical malpractice lawyer can make sure that the legal process runs smoothly and that you receive the settlements you deserve. Our team of attorneys at Shapiro Law Team is dedicated to serving the community and fighting for individuals who have been wrongfully injured by the negligence of others.
