Because it serves such a large rural catchment area, the hospital handles high acuity trauma and specialty cases transferred in from smaller surrounding communities.

Under A.R.S. § 12-2603, a medical malpractice claim requires a preliminary expert opinion affidavit from a physician in the same specialty as the defendant, certifying a breach of the standard of care and that the breach caused the injury. The statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under A.R.S. § 12-542. Flagstaff is in Coconino County, and claims are filed in Coconino County Superior Court.

Types of Medical Malpractice Claims Handled in Flagstaff

Trauma Care Errors

As the region’s Level I trauma referral center, Flagstaff Medical Center manages high-acuity cases transferred from a wide rural area. Delays or errors in trauma response, especially in cases transferred from other facilities, require careful review of the full transfer and treatment timeline.

Surgical Errors

Wrong-site surgery, anesthesia complications, and retained instruments are among the more direct claims to establish through expert review of the operative record.

Misdiagnosis

Delayed or incorrect diagnosis, particularly for patients transferred in from smaller regional facilities, can allow a serious condition to progress before proper treatment begins.
