Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider — a doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, etc. — is negligent, and that negligence causes a serious injury or death. While no amount of money can ever replace what you or an injured loved one has lost, a medical malpractice case can help you afford the continued care you may need and compensate you for what you have lost.
The medical malpractice attorneys at Steve German, A Law Firm, have decades of experience investigating potential medical malpractice cases and holding negligent health care providers accountable for their serious errors. From Scottsdale, we handle claims in the Phoenix area and throughout the state. We will help you and your family through this difficult time.
An example of why we handle malpractice cases...
Many people do not understand how or why a law firm takes on malpractice cases. They are, after all, difficult and time-consuming. Here is an example that explains the type of situation that can occur, and the reason why a victim of malpractice needs the best help he or she can find:
A young woman who is nine months pregnant goes to her clinic because she feels extremely sick. The clinic provides a young doctor who does an inadequate work-up and fails to monitor the unborn child, even though they have monitoring equipment sitting right there.
As a result of these and other failures by the doctors and nurses, the baby suffers a massive brain injury and the young mother dies shortly after giving birth. The father is left a widower, with a brain-damaged child who requires medical care for the rest of her life.
Of course, no lawyer could ever replace what this family lost. However, by making sure those responsible for this tragedy are held accountable, and by making sure that the family gets the biggest possible recovery, this child will receive the best lifetime care.

Medical malpractice cases are expensive and difficult. Doctors and hospitals will fight tooth and nail in almost every case.

Sometimes the doctor does something unreasonable, like prescribing the wrong medicine, or operating on the wrong part of the body during surgery. Other times, the doctor or other health care provider fails to do something he or she should have done, such as failing to follow up on serious symptoms, or failing to order the right tests.
