Pursuing A Medical Malpractice Claim

Identifying when a medical professional has made a serious medical error is not always easy. When doctors, nurses and other medical staff make mistakes, they usually will not tell you. If you suspect that you or a family member was a victim of medical malpractice, get answers.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Errors rise to the level of medical malpractice when a medical professional’s care and actions fall below the standard of care that other reasonable and competent medical professionals with a similar background and experience would provide under the same circumstances.

It can be daunting trying to take on a medical establishment. Proving medical malpractice cases can be challenging. Make sure you have a team in your corner who can guide you through the process and who has the ability to obtain results. The attorneys at Tucker & Miller in Phoenix, Arizona, are experienced at handling medical negligence claims. We have a strong track record of success in Maricopa County.

We handle a variety of medical malpractice claims, including:

• Failure to diagnose cancer: While cancer is increasingly becoming a treatable disease, a doctor’s failure to diagnose early symptoms of cancer can have an impact on your treatment and outcome.
• Failure to diagnose heart attack: Heart attacks often go undiagnosed in emergency room settings. A failure to diagnose a myocardial infarction or heart attack can result in serious injury or death.
• Surgical errors: Sadly, errors in surgery such as leaving clamps, scissors and even towels inside patients continue to happen in our hospitals.
• Orthopedic surgical errors: During bone surgery, if fractures are not properly set within a short amount of time, bones can fuse together and cause a loss of mobility.
• Neurologist/Neurosurgeon malpractice: Errors made during brain or spinal cord surgery can have a devastating effect on a patient’s life.

Why Pursue A Medical Malpractice Claim?

There are a few reasons you should consider pursuing a medical malpractice claim. The first is to compensate you for your injuries and/or loss. While a lawsuit will not be able to undo what has happened, compensation for an injury can be critical to meet the economic demands that arise from a medical injury. The second reason is to hold medical professionals and establishments accountable and protect other patients.
