You Might Be Asking: “Am I the Victim of Medical Malpractice?”
Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers fall short of a standard level of care, harming the patient as a consequence. Malpractice can occur when:
- Employers in the medical sector hire under qualified employees
- Employers do not properly supervise, discipline, drug test, or otherwise monitor their employees
- Providers are under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Providers are fatigued
- A medical provider lacks experience
- Medical providers place money, speed of service, or other concerns over a patient’s wellbeing
Victims of medical malpractice in Arizona have legal grounds to pursue compensation. However, “having grounds” and “actually securing the compensation you deserve” are two different things. Allow the experienced personal injury attorneys at Big Chad Law to see that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
Common Examples of Medical Malpractice in Arizona
Some common examples of medical malpractice that causes harm to patients in Arizona include:
- Medical errors
- Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, and misdiagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Unsanitary conditions
- Failure to warn
- Practicing without adequate licensure
- Practicing while under the influence of drugs (even if the drug is prescribed)
- Drinking while on the job
- Practicing while tired or emotionally impaired
If you have even an inkling that you or a loved one suffered harm because of a medical provider’s negligence, Big Chad Law wants to speak with you.
Why an Arizona Medical Malpractice Lawyer Is the Right Resource for You
If you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice in Arizona, you may be wondering if hiring a lawyer is necessary. While it may be tempting to handle the situation alone, it is vital to understand the complex nature of medical malpractice cases and the benefits of having a skilled Arizona medical malpractice lawyer by your side.
Some of the most critical reasons to hire a lawyer (specifically from Big Chad Law) are:
The Particularly Challenging (and Technical) Nature of Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice cases can be extremely challenging to navigate because:
- Medicine is an inherently complicated field
- The laws surrounding medical malpractice are intricate and vary from state to state

The Emotionally Draining Nature of Malpractice Cases
Pursuing a medical malpractice claim can be emotionally exhausting, especially when you are already dealing with the physical and emotional aftermath of medical negligence. An experienced Arizona medical malpractice lawyer from our team can provide you with the support and guidance you need during this difficult time.
Hiring an Arizona medical malpractice lawyer is the right choice for anyone who has suffered harm due to medical negligence. Don’t choose just any attorney, though. Rely on Big Chad Law, a firm with a reputation, record of results, and wealth of resources that you can be confident in.

Recoverable Damages in Your Arizona Medical Malpractice Case
When you or a loved one suffers harm due to medical malpractice in Arizona, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your damages. Understanding the types of damages that are recoverable in a medical malpractice case is essential for determining the value of your claim. In Arizona, there are two main categories of damages:
Economic Damages
Also known as special damages, economic damages are quantifiable losses with a specific monetary value. Your economic damages may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Loss of earning capacity
- Medication costs
- Rehabilitation costs
- The cost of mental health services
- Medical equipment costs
- Housing costs (if you are disabled and unable to afford housing)
It is crucial to keep detailed records and evidence of all your medical expenses and financial losses to support your claim for economic damages. Big Chad Law will keep these records for you, and we will instruct you about how to maintain documentation.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are more subjective and do not have a specific monetary value. Pain and suffering are the primary examples of non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, and this may include:
- Pain
- Emotional anguish
- Psychological distress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Lost quality of life
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
- Anxiety
- Depression
Determining the value of non-economic damages can be challenging, as there is no objective measure for these losses. An experienced Arizona medical malpractice lawyer from our team will assess the impact of the malpractice on your life and determine the appropriate amount of non-economic damages to seek.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages may also be available. These damages are generally reserved for cases where medical providers are careless or intentionally harmful.
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. If you lost a loved one in circumstances related to medical malpractice, you can trust Big Chad Law to compassionately fight for you and anyone else harmed by the wrongful death.
Who Will Be Liable for Damages Resulting from Medical Malpractice?
When it comes to medical malpractice cases, determining who is liable for the damages can be a complex process. In most cases, the responsible party is the healthcare provider or facility that provided the care that led to the injury or harm. It can include:
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Technicians
- Hospitals
- Clinics
- Other medical professionals and institutions.
One of the key factors in determining liability is establishing a breach of the standard of care. Medical professionals are expected to provide a certain standard of care to their patients, and if they fail to meet this standard and it results in harm, they can be held legally responsible.
