Warning

IMPORTANT ARIZONA LEGAL INFORMATION — MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Statute of Limitations: 2 years from when the patient knew or should have known (with reasonable diligence) that the injury was caused by medical negligence — the discovery rule applies (A.R.S. § 12-542). The clock starts when you have reason to connect your injury to medical negligence.

No Statute of Repose: Unlike many states, Arizona has no absolute outer time limit (statute of repose) for medical malpractice claims. If the negligence was genuinely undiscoverable, a claim may be brought beyond 2 years of the act — but courts require proof of reasonable diligence.

Government Hospital (Critical): Claims against government-operated hospitals or public health facilities require a Notice of Claim within 180 days under A.R.S. § 12-821.01. Suit must be filed within 1 year. Act immediately.

Expert Affidavit Required: Within 60 days of filing suit, the plaintiff's attorney must file a preliminary expert affidavit from a qualified medical expert confirming the standard of care was breached and identifying how (A.R.S. § 12-2603). Failure to file results in dismissal.

Minors: For minor patients, the 2-year clock does not begin until they turn 18 (A.R.S. § 12-502). Minor malpractice victims generally have until their 20th birthday.

No Damage Caps: Arizona's Constitution prohibits any cap on malpractice damages — economic and non-economic damages are fully recoverable (Ariz. Const. Art. II, § 31).

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.

Your Case May Be Worth More Than They're Telling You.

Insurance companies for hospitals may make early low offers and often use delay and denial tactics. Economic damages are uncapped and can be very substantial in serious cases. TopDog fights for every dollar available.
