Medical malpractice harms thousands of Arizonans every year — through misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence at facilities across Maricopa County. Patients in South Phoenix and underserved Phoenix communities are among the most vulnerable when the medical system fails them. Hospital insurers and defense teams often use delay, denial, and intimidation tactics. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Valleywise Health Medical Center — Maricopa County's public trauma center — Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, and Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital serve the communities where our clients live. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when they fall short. Those failures cause real damage to Phoenix families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Hospitals and their insurers across Maricopa County often use delay and denial tactics and work to make patients feel like they have no case. Arizona's certificate of merit requirement means the legal process must begin with qualified medical expert review. Valleywise Health and other county-affiliated hospitals require a 180-day Notice of Claim. You were already failed once. That will not happen again.
IMPORTANT ARIZONA LEGAL INFORMATION — MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury or discovery under ARS 12-542.
At-Fault State: Arizona is an at-fault state. The at-fault party's liability insurance covers your damages.
Comparative Fault: Arizona follows pure comparative fault. You can recover even if partly at fault — your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from recovering.
Certificate of Merit Required: You must certify whether expert testimony is required when filing and provide the written expert affidavit during initial disclosures.
Government Hospital: Valleywise Health and Maricopa County-affiliated facilities require a Notice of Claim within 180 days under ARS 12-821.01.
No Statutory Damage Cap: Arizona has no statutory cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for hospitals may make early low offers and often use delay and denial tactics. Arizona has no statutory cap on non-economic damages in malpractice cases — serious malpractice can result in significant recoveries. TopDog fights for every dollar available.
