Medical Malpractice

Phoenix, Arizona, Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical professionals hold the lives of patients in their hands—we trust them to make wise decisions and provide skilled treatment. Serious, even fatal, injuries are caused when doctors, hospitals, or other healthcare providers fail to live up to that professional standard of care, a failure we refer to as medical malpractice.

The lawyers at our Phoenix, Arizona, personal injury firm, Alex & Gaxiola, offer over twenty-three years of experience and a demonstrated record of success in recovering compensation for victims and families of those who have suffered injuries due to medical negligence.

Medical Malpractice is responsible for nearly 100,000 wrongful deaths each year—more people die from medical mistakes than from all car accident deaths across the country. Doctor, nurse, hospital, and pharmacy errors cause injuries to nearly 1.5 million people every year. Hospital-acquired infections are the cause of an estimated 90,000 deaths a year in the United States*

Medical Malpractice is a term our lawyers use to describe a broad range of negligent actions, including those involving the following:

• Failure to perform a timely cesarean, resulting in a birth injury, cerebral palsy, or death of an infant
• Misdiagnosis of cancer or another condition, delaying treatment which could have effectively saved or extended a life
• Emergency room errors, including misdiagnosis or failure to treat heart attacks, strokes, spinal cord damage, brain damage, or infection
• Pharmaceutical errors, including dispensing the wrong drug, drug overdoses, and harmful drug interactions
• Nursing home negligence resulting in serious bedsores, falls, fractures, or assaults
• Surgical errors, including performing the wrong surgery
• Poor hospital practices that result in hospital-acquired infections

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury such as quadriplegia, paraplegia, a heart attack, brain damage, or the death of a loved one, our attorneys will provide the powerful representation you need to recover fair compensation for your loss.

In addition to medical expenses and loss of income a medical malpractice settlement or verdict will include compensation for the loss of emotional support suffered by the family of the victim, and inn extreme case, punitive damages. When handling a medical malpractice case, our lawyers call on a team of medical negligence attorneys, nurse consultants, and legal and technical experts to see that our client receives the maximum compensation possible.

Not every medical accident entitles the injured person to a claim. However, each case is unique and must be evaluated carefully. If you or a loved one believes that you are a victim of a medical malpractice, do not hesitate to call or e-mail our Phoenix, Arizona, office to arrange a free consultation.
