Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers are legally and ethically obligated to meet standards of safety and professional care. As a patient, you are entitled to competent and timely diagnosis and treatment of your medical complaints. When healthcare providers are negligent in fulfilling their obligations, they may be held liable under the law for any damages that result. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured due to the negligence of medical professionals, our experienced medical malpractice attorneys may be able to help you obtain compensation from those responsible. We work with trusted medical professionals to present your case. Although our medical malpractice attorneys will always work toward an out-of-court settlement when possible, we are aggressive in trying cases when it serves our clients’ best interests.

Our medical malpractice attorneys are able to present medical malpractice cases around a variety of causes, including the failure to diagnose a condition, surgical mistakes, pharmaceutical errors, hospital negligence, misdiagnosis of a disease, and anesthesia errors. The results of medical malpractice range from serious injuries, such as brain damage and paralysis, to death. Medical malpractice usually involves substantial expenses and emotional trauma to patients and their families. If you or someone you love has been damaged by medical malpractice and is in need of legal representation, please feel free to contact our medical malpractice attorneys for a free consultation.

Product Liability Attorneys

As a consumer, when you purchase a product, it is reasonable to trust that it is free from defects that would render it unnecessarily and unforeseeably dangerous when used for its intended purpose. If you have been injured by a defective product, our product liability attorneys in Tucson and Phoenix may be able to help you obtain compensation from those responsible. Depending on the nature of the defect, a product liability suit can be filed against any or all parties involved in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of a product. A design defect occurs when a product is inherently unsafe from the point of conception, even though reasonably safe alternatives exist. More common are manufacturing defects, which occur when the manufacturer of a product or its parts fails to meet design specifications. In such cases, evidence of negligence against a specific person or persons is generally not necessary, as the defect itself is proof enough of negligence. The third type of defect, the informational defect, can arise out of improper or incomplete labeling of a product, as well as the failure to provide adequate warnings of potential dangers involved in using the product.

Not all of those who are injured by a product are necessarily eligible for compensation, particularly if they were injured while using a clearly dangerous product or a product that was altered against specifications after purchase. If you or someone you love has been injured by a product you believe to be defective, please feel free to contact our product liability attorneys for a free consultation.

Automobile Accident Attorneys

Each year in the United States, thousands of people are seriously injured or killed in automobile accidents. Many of these accidents could have been avoided if those at fault had exercised due care and attention while driving.

If you or someone you love has been injured due to the negligence of another motorist, our automobile accident attorneys in Tucson and Phoenix may be able to assist you in obtaining a fair and just recovery. Striving to build the most thorough and compelling case possible on your behalf, our attorneys can seek compensation for a variety of damages, including medical bills, lost wages, medical expenses, pain, suffering, and permanent disability.

Elder Abuse Attorneys

When someone reaches an age at which he or she may be unable to care for themselves properly, elder law issues may apply. Nursing homes are obligated by law to provide competent, thorough care and attention to all their residents. When nursing homes fail to meet this obligation, they may be held liable for any injuries that result. Likewise, when employees of nursing homes engage in physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, the victim is entitled to compensation under the law.

As the elderly population of the United States continues to grow, elder abuse is becoming an increasingly common problem. Yet, because many elderly people are of fragile physical and mental health, elder abuse often goes unnoticed until irreparable damage has been done. If you have placed an elderly loved one in someone else’s care, it is vital that you are attentive to even the smallest signs of abuse. These can include changes in behavior or appetite; unexplained bruises, cuts, or scars; a sudden disappearance of personal property or money; and a failure to follow doctors’ orders in issuing medicine. If you believe someone you love may be a victim of elder abuse, please feel free to contact our office today for a free consultation.

Insurance Bad Faith Attorneys

Although insurance companies are legally and ethically obligated to act in good faith when handling claims, they may do whatever they can to preserve their own best interests, even if it means violating the rights of others. Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to provide services and benefits in accordance with their contractual obligations. Bad faith can take several forms, including the denial of a legitimate claim, a “low ball” offer for payment on a claim, the failure to take timely action in responding to a claim, and requests for the claimant to provide unreasonable documentation. Insurance bad faith constitutes fraud and is actionable under the law. If you or a loved one has been treated unfairly by an insurance company following a legitimate claim, please feel free to contact our office today for a free consultation.
