Defendant's Attorney: Margaret Dean for Banner Health

David Toone for Dr. Laurie P. Erickson

Description: Phoenix, Arizona personal injury medical malpractice lawyer represented the Plaintiffs who sued the Defendants on medical negligence theories.

"Krystle Griepentrog, individually and on behalf of her minor son Greyson, claimed that Dr. Laurie P. Erickson committed medical malpractice by failing to assure that her son Greyson brain was adequately oxygenated during delivery and, as a direct result, he suffers from cerebral palsy.

Banner Health denied fault.

Banner Health claimed critical fetal heart monitoring medical records were “accidentally lost,” arguing to the jury that without the records, the plaintiff could not prove their case.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to the patient. In Arizona, medical malpractice claims are governed by the Arizona Medical Malpractice Act, which outlines the elements that must be proven to succeed in a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Elements of a Medical Malpractice Claim in Arizona

To establish a successful medical malpractice claim in Arizona, the plaintiff must prove the following elements:

Duty of Care: The healthcare provider owed a duty of care to the patient. This means that the provider had a legal obligation to provide the patient with the standard of care that would be expected of a reasonably competent healthcare provider under similar circumstances.

Breach of Duty: The healthcare provider breached the duty of care by failing to meet the standard of care. This means that the provider's actions or omissions fell below the standard of care that a reasonably competent healthcare provider would have exercised.

Causation: The healthcare provider's breach of duty caused the patient's injury or harm. This means that the patient's injury or harm would not have occurred but for the provider's negligence.

Damages: The patient suffered damages as a result of the healthcare provider's negligence. This means that the patient incurred medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other damages as a result of the injury or harm.

Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Claims in Arizona

In Arizona, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally two years from the date of the injury or harm. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the patient was a minor at the time of the injury or harm, the statute of limitations may be tolled until the patient reaches the age of majority.

Expert Witness Requirement

In Arizona, medical malpractice plaintiffs are typically required to present expert witness testimony to establish the standard of care and causation. An expert witness is a qualified healthcare provider who can testify about the applicable standard of care and whether the defendant healthcare provider breached that standard.

Damages Available in Medical Malpractice Cases

In Arizona, medical malpractice plaintiffs may recover a variety of damages, including:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Punitive damages (in rare cases)

Consulting with an Attorney

If you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can assess your case, advise you of your legal options, and help you file a medical malpractice claim."
