Helping You File Your Medical Malpractice Claim
When doctors take the Hippocratic Oath, they promise not to knowingly harm to patients. Unfortunately, medical malpractice and negligence can happen, even with the best of medical professionals, at the best hospitals. At Van Amburg Law Firm in the Tucson, Arizona, we understand the intricate legal steps involved in filing these claims and know that hiring an attorney can make the process a bit smoother.
Were You Treated by a State Employee?
One factor that can severely influence your medical malpractice claim is the employment status of your health care provider. Many doctors at University Medical Center are considered state employees. Under Arizona law, if you want to file a claim against a state employee, you have only 180 days to file and serve a notice of claim. That is only six months compared to the two-year window for claims against non-state employees.
Do You Have an Affidavit?
Make sure you have enough time and resources to file your claim. Arizona law states that any claim against a health care provider, including nurses, requires an evaluation by an outside expert. This expert needs to evaluate your claim and prepare an affidavit before you can even proceed with your claim. The responsibility of finding the expert falls on you, and it can take time. Our law firm can help facilitate the affidavit process. We can ensure that your requirements are met with plenty of time to proceed with your claim.
