Personal injury lawyer Stephen Gordon works frequently under the different rules relating to medical malpractice claims in both Massachusetts and Arizona, and his experience with the expert review of professional negligence cases can help you in either state. In Massachusetts, a patient's complaint must first be presented to a medical malpractice tribunal, which determines whether the claim is substantial enough to proceed in court. In Arizona, a medical malpractice complaint must be supported by the affidavit of a qualified medical professional with credentials comparable to those of the defendant physician, nurse or technician.
Either way, our law firm's skill with the development and presentation of complex medical evidence essential to proof of your claim represents an important advantage for our malpractice clients in both states.
