No Fee Unless You Win
One of the first things a Phoenix medical malpractice attorney will do is help you understand how Arizona’s statute of limitations applies to your case.
A statute of limitations is the legal time frame for filing certain lawsuits. It defines how long you have to take legal action after an incident occurs.
For instance, in Arizona, the law allows medical malpractice victims to file a case against medical professionals or care facilities within two years from the time an incident happens or is discovered. Arizona Revised Statutes section 12-542(1) states: “A legal action alleging malpractice by a healthcare professional or care facility must be filed within two years after the cause of action accrues.”
A good Phoenix medical malpractice attorney will also provide helpful consultation tips for malpractice victims, explaining how the statute applies to your unique case. Your lawyer should explore the various types of damages awarded in malpractice cases to help you determine which ones to include in your claim for full compensation.
They can also walk you through the types of damages awarded in malpractice cases and help estimate how long your case may take based on the details of your situation. The statute exists to ensure malpractice cases are handled fairly while evidence is still available and memories are fresh.
Here are some key requirements and exceptions to this statute that you should be aware of:
Your medical malpractice lawsuit could be dismissed if you file it late.
Timelines for medical malpractice lawsuits in Arizona are strict. You generally have just two years from the date the injury occurred or was discovered.
