- Is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Arizona Necessary?
We are taught from an early age that we should trust our medical care providers when it comes to their diagnoses, their opinions and their recommendations. However, doctors and other medical professionals can and will make mistakes from time to time, and when they do the patient can pay an extremely heavy price. When these situations arise, it can be difficult for those who are suffering or for their families to understand when it’s advisable to seek the help of an Arizona medical malpractice lawyer. Below is a brief introduction to when this step may be necessary.
The Arizona Standard for Medical Malpractice Claims
When someone is harmed during the course of medical care and that person files an Arizona medical malpractice lawsuit, there is a particular standard that’s used by the court to determine if the medical professional who is the defendant should be held liable for the damages incurred and the suffering endured by the patient who is now the plaintiff. Specifically, medical professionals are held to the standard of reasonable medical professionals in similar situations. Therefore, if a case is filed, the court will compare the conduct of the defendant to what a reasonable doctor, nurse or other professional would have done in a similar situation. If the court finds that the reasonable professional would have acted differently, the defendant will usually be held liable.
Phoenix Attorneys on AZ Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Unfortunately, people who do not have medical and/or legal backgrounds may not always know when the standard described above has not been met. All they know is that the patient has suffered from additional illness, has encountered a need for additional medical procedures or has even died as a result of a failure of medical professionals to act properly. Generally, when instinct tells someone that something went terribly wrong and that it could have been a mistake by a medical professional, that person should review the situation with the help of a professional.
If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of what you believe was a mistake made by a medical professional, you need to seek the help of Phoenix injury attorneys who have been holding those responsible for this type of harm accountable for many years.

I just wanted to thank Phillips law Group and Vanessa Rodriguez for all the help that she did for my daughter’s case. She was involved in her first accident and she needed the help to deal with these adjusters. Thank you again.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
