A required affidavit that is not filed and served can lead to dismissal without prejudice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An Arizona medical malpractice lawsuit generally must be filed within two years under A.R.S. 12-542, starting when the patient knew or reasonably should have known enough to suspect negligence caused the injury. A minor&#8217;s or an incapacitated patient&#8217;s clock is paused until the minority or incapacity ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A claim against a public hospital or another public entity in Arizona needs a written notice of claim within 180 days that states a specific dollar amount, and the lawsuit generally must follow within one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Arizona, a contingency fee agreement with a lawyer must be in writing and signed by the client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anyone can look up a lawyer in the State Bar of Arizona&#8217;s official member directory and check the membership-status information it provides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A bad outcome alone is not malpractice in Arizona, because A.R.S. 12-563 requires proof that the care fell below the accepted standard and that this failure caused the injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arizona generally requires expert medical testimony on both the standard of care and causation, unless the negligence or the causal link is apparent without medical expertise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need an Attorney to Bring a Medical Malpractice Claim in Arizona?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arizona law does not require a lawyer to bring a medical malpractice claim, because a patient may represent themselves in a civil lawsuit. Whether you need a lawyer for medical malpractice in Arizona comes down to what the claim demands. In a claim against a licensed health care professional, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/12\/02603.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Section 12-2603 of the Arizona Revised Statutes<\/a> (A.R.S. 12-2603) requires the patient to certify early whether expert testimony is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When that testimony is needed, the patient must serve a sworn written statement, called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/arizona-preliminary-expert-opinion-affidavit\/\">preliminary expert opinion affidavit<\/a>, in which an expert sets out their qualifications, how the care fell below the accepted standard, and how that failure caused the injury. Under A.R.S. 12-2604, the expert must be licensed, share the provider&#8217;s specialty and any board certification, and have spent most of the prior year practicing or teaching in that field. Most claims rely on expert testimony, although not every claim needs an expert on every issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That expert proof has to hold up against a hospital, a medical group or another healthcare provider, usually backed by an insurer and defense lawyers who handle these cases regularly. Meeting that defense takes complete records, qualified experts and a working command of the trial rules, and that is the work a lawyer for medical malpractice takes on for a patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, that lawyer requests the full medical records, has specialists in the right field review the care, and handles the court&#8217;s filing and disclosure rules. The lawyer also negotiates with the insurer and takes the case to trial when it does not settle. Each of those steps works toward compensation for the harm the care caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patient who mainly wants a physician&#8217;s conduct reviewed has another path, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/how-to-file-a-complaint-against-a-doctor-in-arizona\/\">a complaint to the Arizona Medical Board<\/a>, which can be filed without a lawyer. The board investigates and disciplines physicians, but its process is separate from a malpractice lawsuit, and a complaint does not start one. A complaint also does not automatically extend the time to file a lawsuit, so a patient who may want to sue should not count on it to preserve that deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens If You Sue for Medical Malpractice Without a Lawyer in Arizona?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patient who sues for medical malpractice without a lawyer in Arizona takes on every task a lawyer would handle and is held to the same legal and procedural standards as an attorney. In <a href=\"https:\/\/coa1.azcourts.gov\/Portals\/1\/OpinionFiles\/Div1\/2026\/1%20CA-CV%2025-0606%20PB%20Dineen%20Shibata%20v%20Kotchka.pdf?ver=ZlKfunCALkNNqzZkEO15Xg%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dineen\/Shibata v. Kotchka<\/a>, the Arizona Court of Appeals confirmed that self-represented litigants receive no special leniency. Being unfamiliar with the rules does not excuse a patient from following them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those standards include the expert affidavit. The certification under A.R.S. 12-2603 applies to a patient filing alone, with no exemption, and so does the preliminary expert opinion affidavit when one is required. A required affidavit that is not filed and served can lead to dismissal without prejudice, which ends the lawsuit without a ruling on whether the care was negligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rest of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/how-to-file-a-medical-malpractice-lawsuit-in-arizona\/\">the lawsuit follows the court rules<\/a>. The case goes to the Superior Court in a county that Arizona&#8217;s rules allow, and each defendant must be served within 90 days of filing unless the court allows more time. Malpractice cases generally fall in Tier 3, a category with its own limits on the exchange of evidence. Tier 3 brings early disclosures from each side, detailed signed reports from retained experts, depositions taken under oath and, if the case does not resolve, a trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The patient who files alone also pays those experts directly. Under Rule 68 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, a patient who turns down a formal settlement offer, called an offer of judgment, and then receives a judgment no more favorable can face a financial sanction, generally 20 percent of the difference between the two. Without a lawyer, the patient weighs that risk alone each time an offer arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A self-represented claim may fail on procedure rather than on the medicine. A late or incomplete expert opinion, a missed deadline or a disclosure failure can end a case that had merit.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image101547_502677-bb:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;}.kb-image101547_502677-bb .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}.kb-image101547_502677-bb img.kb-img, .kb-image101547_502677-bb .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-image101547_502677-bb img.kb-img, .kb-image101547_502677-bb .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-image101547_502677-bb img.kb-img, .kb-image101547_502677-bb .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image101547_502677-bb size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/arizona-malpractice-rules-and-costs-patients-face-without-a-lawyer.webp\" alt=\"What risks do patients take filing an Arizona suit alone instead of hiring a lawyer for medical malpractice.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-101619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/arizona-malpractice-rules-and-costs-patients-face-without-a-lawyer.webp 1376w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/arizona-malpractice-rules-and-costs-patients-face-without-a-lawyer-500x279.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/arizona-malpractice-rules-and-costs-patients-face-without-a-lawyer-800x447.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/arizona-malpractice-rules-and-costs-patients-face-without-a-lawyer-600x335.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Soon Should You Talk to a Lawyer About Medical Negligence in Arizona?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Arizona medical malpractice lawsuit generally must be filed within two years under A.R.S. 12-542, so talk to a lawyer well before that deadline. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/opinion\/867605\/walk-v-ring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walk v. Ring<\/a>, the Arizona Supreme Court explained that this two-year clock starts when the patient knew or reasonably should have known enough to suspect negligence caused the injury, which is not always the date of the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a minor or an incapacitated patient, the two years are paused until the minority or incapacity ends, and the time runs from there. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/arizona-medical-malpractice-statute-of-limitations\/\">Claims against a public hospital or another public entity have shorter deadlines<\/a>. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/12\/00821-01.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A.R.S. 12-821.01<\/a>, the patient must file a written notice of claim with the public entity within 180 days, stating a specific dollar amount for which the claim can be settled. The lawsuit itself generally must follow within one year, and both periods start from the same point as the two-year deadline, so these claims need attention within months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is usually time to call when an outcome is far worse than the patient was told to expect, when a diagnosis came late, when a later provider says the earlier care was wrong, or when questions about the care go unanswered. A patient can make that call before knowing whether the care was negligent, because answering that question is what a lawyer&#8217;s review is for.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image101547_50e46a-66:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;}.kb-image101547_50e46a-66

Before hiring, look the lawyer up in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azbar.org\/for-legal-professionals\/practice-tools-management\/member-directory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Bar of Arizona&#8217;s official member directory<\/a> and check the membership-status information it provides. A listing covers membership details, not experience with malpractice claims, so ask about that experience directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fee arrangement is the next thing to ask about. A medical malpractice lawyer may work on a contingency fee, a share of any recovery that is paid only if the case succeeds. The State Bar of Arizona&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azbar.org\/for-legal-professionals\/ethics\/best-practices\/er-1-5-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guidance on Ethical Rule (ER) 1.5<\/a>, the professional conduct rule on lawyer fees, explains that a contingency fee agreement must be in writing and signed by the client. Other requirements apply to that agreement as well, so read it in full before signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first meeting, usually a free case review, comes before any agreement and is the place to judge fit. Notice how clearly the lawyer explains the medicine and the law, whether the answers are direct, and how the lawyer plans to keep the patient informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that meeting, the lawyer&#8217;s usual caseload matters. A medical malpractice lawyer is a different choice from a general personal injury lawyer, because malpractice claims depend on medical records, specialty experts and Arizona&#8217;s affidavit rules. A lawyer who mostly handles car accidents may not deal with those requirements often, and an Arizona malpractice case meets them early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions worth asking at the review include how many malpractice cases the lawyer has tried, who reviews the medicine, who pays the case costs and when, and what the lawyer sees as the hardest part of the claim. The answers show how the lawyer works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a lawyer is hired, the work starts with the complete medical records and a review of the care by a qualified expert. If that review supports a claim, the lawyer handles the expert certification, the filing and the steps that follow, while the patient focuses on recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If a Lawyer Turns Down Your Medical Negligence Case in Arizona?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lawyer may turn down a medical malpractice case in Arizona when the records do not show what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/12\/00563.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A.R.S. 12-563<\/a> requires, proof that the care fell below the accepted standard and that this failure caused the injury. A bad outcome alone does not establish malpractice, because the evidence has to show negligent care. A lawyer looks for that proof before accepting a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other reasons have less to do with the care itself. The losses may be small next to what the case would cost to prove, the deadline may be close, or the lawyer&#8217;s practice may not take that kind of claim. One decline is not a final answer, and a second review by another lawyer is common, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/why-wont-attorney-accept-my-medical-malpractice-case\/\">why a medical malpractice attorney may not accept a case<\/a> explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether a case is worth bringing depends on the same weighing of the harm, the cost of the experts and the strength of the proof. That question is the center of a lawyer&#8217;s review, and the answer can differ from one patient to the next even when injuries look alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Medical Negligence Lawsuits Hard to Win in Arizona?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To win a medical negligence lawsuit in Arizona, the patient must prove both that the care was substandard and that it caused the injury. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcourts.gov\/Portals\/0\/OpinionFiles\/Supreme\/2021\/CV200024PR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sampson v. Surgery Center of Peoria<\/a>, the Arizona Supreme Court recognized that expert testimony is generally needed on both, unless the negligence or the causal link is apparent without medical expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first point, the standard of care, is what proper care required in the provider&#8217;s field. An expert usually explains that standard and how the provider departed from it. Choosing one accepted method over another does not by itself establish negligence. Breaking a hospital policy or a guideline does not automatically prove malpractice either, although it may inform the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second point, causation, is the link between the care and the injury, and it is often the hardest to prove. The patient was usually already ill or injured when the care began, so the evidence must show a probable connection between the negligent care and the harm, rather than the underlying condition running its course. The negligence does not have to be the only cause, and the timing of a decline does not by itself prove the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defense answers with experts of its own, who may disagree about the standard or point to other possible causes. Arizona generally limits each side to one retained expert per issue, with some exceptions. When a case reaches a jury, the jurors weigh the experts&#8217; evidence and decide whether the provider fell below the standard. The patient&#8217;s burden is the ordinary civil one, called a preponderance of the evidence, so the difficulty lies in the medical proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some emergency care raises the level of proof required. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/12\/00572.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A.R.S. 12-572<\/a>, for emergency treatment given in compliance with the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or care given in response to a disaster, the patient must prove the claim by clear and convincing evidence. That higher standard applies to claims against both the treating professional and the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- [element-17033] --><style>.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:1400px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding-top:20px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(60% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)))minmax(0, calc(40% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-none, 0rem );padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-row kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col{display:flex;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-right:0px;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;align-items:flex-start;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:stretch;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery{align-self:stretch;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f{position:relative;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column17033_022feb-0f:not(.specificity){margin-right:0px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;align-items:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kadence-column17033_022feb-0f, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column17033_022feb-0f:not(.specificity){margin-top:-10px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column17033_022feb-0f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading17033_991e05-de\"]{text-align:left;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading17033_991e05-de\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading17033_991e05-de\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading17033_991e05-de\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading17033_991e05-de wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading17033_991e05-de\">The Hastings Law Firm Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has--font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Results matter, but what truly sets us apart is how we achieve them.

Those notes help the first conversation cover what happened clearly and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The medical records come next, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/arizona-medical-records-malpractice-case\/\">either the patient or a lawyer can request them<\/a>. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/12\/02293.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A.R.S. 12-2293<\/a>, a patient may ask each provider for copies in writing, and Arizona sets a 30-calendar-day response period for requests made for litigation. Reasonable copying charges may apply. A lawyer makes the same request with the patient&#8217;s signed release, one for each provider on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That list matters because a claim can reach more than one person or organization. Physicians, nurses, a hospital and a medical group may each have played a part in the care. Sorting out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/who-can-be-held-liable-for-medical-malpractice-arizona\/\">who is legally responsible for the injury<\/a> is part of the lawyer&#8217;s work, and a complete list gives that work a starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring the list and the timeline to the first conversation, along with any records and test results already in hand, discharge papers and photos of visible injuries. Notes on current symptoms and daily limits help as well, because they show what the harm has cost so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let a lawyer read anything a provider or insurer sends before signing it or accepting a payment. Arizona courts enforce valid settlements under contract principles, so a signed settlement and release can end the claims it covers, apart from any it expressly preserves. A signature given early can close off a claim before anyone has reviewed the care.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image101547_643b66-22:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;}.kb-image101547_643b66-22 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}.kb-image101547_643b66-22 img.kb-img, .kb-image101547_643b66-22 .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-image101547_643b66-22 img.kb-img, .kb-image101547_643b66-22 .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-image101547_643b66-22 img.kb-img, .kb-image101547_643b66-22 .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image101547_643b66-22 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/records-to-gather-and-releases-to-review-before-an-arizona-malpractice-consultation.webp\" alt=\"Which records should Arizona patients bring to a first meeting with a lawyer for medical malpractice.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-101621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/records-to-gather-and-releases-to-review-before-an-arizona-malpractice-consultation.webp 1376w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/records-to-gather-and-releases-to-review-before-an-arizona-malpractice-consultation-500x279.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/records-to-gather-and-releases-to-review-before-an-arizona-malpractice-consultation-800x447.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/records-to-gather-and-releases-to-review-before-an-arizona-malpractice-consultation-600x335.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to an Arizona Medical Malpractice Attorney About Your Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you contact Hastings Law Firm, a member of our intake team asks about the care, when it happened and who provided it. We request the medical records before any commitment, at no cost to you, and our attorneys and medical professionals review them. After that review, we always contact you with an honest answer about whether you have a claim. Once a case is signed, our board-certified patient advocates keep you informed when something noteworthy happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer-in-arizona\/\">Arizona medical malpractice lawyers<\/a> are experienced in helping injured patients and their families weigh their options and in pursuing a claim when the records support one.

Case costs come out of the client&#8217;s 60 percent, and the first review is usually free. The Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct require a contingency fee agreement to be in writing and signed by the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before signing, ask how the fee is calculated and who pays case expenses, such as expert and filing fees, if the case does not succeed. Make sure the answers appear in the written agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Feel Guilty About Suing a Doctor for Malpractice in Arizona?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients have no reason to feel guilty about suing a physician for malpractice in Arizona, because a claim asks for payment of the losses that negligent care caused, often from the provider&#8217;s insurer. A claim also holds the care to the standard every patient is owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medicine carries risk, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/four-elements-of-a-medical-malpractice-claim-in-arizona\/\">a bad outcome is not always negligence<\/a>. When an injury was preventable, the providers responsible should be held accountable, and a malpractice claim is one of the ways the law does that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list two-column-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/12\/02603.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">A.R.S. 12-2603 on expert certification and the preliminary expert opinion affidavit<\/a> | <em>Arizona State Legislature<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coa1.azcourts.gov\/Portals\/1\/OpinionFiles\/Div1\/2026\/1%20CA-CV%2025-0606%20PB%20Dineen%20Shibata%20v%20Kotchka.pdf?ver=ZlKfunCALkNNqzZkEO15Xg%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Dineen\/Shibata v.
