Medical Malpractice Defined

Medical malpractice is typically defined as harm suffered by a patient due to a medical provider’s mistake or deviation from the accepted medical standard. Oftentimes, it is asked, “Would another medical provider have been able to reasonably avoid making the same mistake in a similar situation?” If the answer is yes, then it is possible that the medical error justifies filing a medical malpractice claim.

Different Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

At James Wood Law, we have dedicated ourselves to representing the wrongfully injured in the most complicated cases, including medical malpractice cases. If you were hurt in any way due to a medical provider’s errors, we will be ready to help you.

Our legal team can work on all types of medical malpractice cases in Arizona, such as:

  • Misdiagnosis: A condition is incorrectly identified, leading to inappropriate or delayed treatment that can worsen the patient's health. This often results in unnecessary procedures or missed opportunities for proper care.
  • Delayed diagnosis: A correct diagnosis is made too late, allowing the condition to progress and potentially causing harm that could have been avoided with earlier intervention.
  • Surgical errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the body, can lead to severe complications or additional surgeries.
  • Medication errors: Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or administration of drugs can cause adverse reactions, ineffective treatment, or even life-threatening consequences.
  • Birth injuries: Errors during labor or delivery, such as improper use of tools or failure to monitor the baby, can result in long-term harm to the infant or mother.
  • Anesthesia errors: Mistakes in administering anesthesia, like incorrect dosages or failure to monitor the patient, can lead to brain damage, paralysis, or death.
  • Hospital infections: Poor hygiene or sterilization practices in medical facilities can expose patients to dangerous infections, prolonging recovery or causing severe health issues.
  • Informed consent issues: Failing to adequately inform patients about risks, benefits, or alternatives of a procedure denies them the ability to make informed decisions about their care.

Medical Malpractice Damages & Compensation

Compensation can help you try to recover and receive adequate medical care without putting your own financial situation at risk. Getting that compensation, though, is not guaranteed. The medical provider that injured you or made a mistake during your treatment will likely deny any wrongdoing and offer nothing to help you. If you want compensation, you will most likely need to file a claim or lawsuit. Start by getting our Arizona medical malpractice attorneys on your side.

Medical malpractice claims typically involve three main types of damages that can be pursued:

  1. Economic damages: Economic damages are tangible, quantifiable losses directly resulting from the malpractice, usually including medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and other financial costs related to the injury or harm caused.
  2. Non-economic damages: Non-economic damages cover intangible losses that are harder to quantify, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and shortened life expectancy.
  3. Punitive damages: In rare cases, punitive damages might be possible if the defendant acted with egregious or intentional misconduct. Punitive damages are meant to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
