[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, lab technician, or other healthcare worker injures or kills a patient due to their negligent conduct. However, just because someone is injured or dies while receiving medical treatment does not mean they were the victim of medical malpractice.  For a doctor or other healthcare provider\u2019s actions to be considered negligent, their actions must have fallen outside the accepted medical standard of care and directly caused a patient\u2019s injuries. Medical malpractice cases are incredibly complex, which is one reason it is so important to consult with an attorney if you\u2019ve been injured in the course of medical treatment.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"To recover compensation in a medical malpractice case, you\u2019ll need to prove your doctor or another provider did not meet the medical standard of care. That means showing the provider\u2019s actions were not in line with what another doctor with similar training and experience would have done in your case. You\u2019ll also have to prove that the provider\u2019s actions directly caused your injuries.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"The Arizona Statute of Limitations for medical malpractice or personal injury is two years from the date you sustained your injury or two years from the date you discovered it or reasonably should have discovered it to file a medical malpractice claim in Arizona. If you wait longer, the court will most likely dismiss your claim as untimely, and you\u2019ll lose the ability to seek compensation for your injuries.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Answer"},"name":"What Is Medical Malpractice?","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Do I Prove Medical Malpractice?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Is the Statute of Limitations for Arizona Medical Malpractice Claims?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#Question2"}],"name":"Peoria AZ Medical Malpractice Lawyer","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Peoria","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Medical Malpractice Lawyer","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/peoria\/medical-malpractice\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
