Arizona Medical Malpractice Law: What Applies in Winslow

Medication Errors

A preliminary expert opinion affidavit under A.R.S. § 12-2603 is required before a claim can proceed. The statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under A.R.S. § 12-542. Winslow is in Navajo County, and claims are filed in Navajo County Superior Court.

Types of Medical Malpractice Claims Handled in Winslow

Transfer and Stabilization Errors

As a Level IV trauma facility, LCMC’s role is to stabilize and transfer patients needing higher-level trauma care. A delay in recognizing the need for transfer, or an error during the handoff to the receiving hospital, can be a basis for a claim independent of the initial treatment.

Emergency Room and Surgical Errors

Misdiagnosis or errors during on-site treatment, including obstetrical and general surgical care offered at LCMC, are among the more direct claims to establish through expert review.

What to Look for in a Winslow Medical Malpractice Attorney

Doctors in the middle of hospital negligence

Because LCMC coordinates care with the Winslow Indian Health Care Center for some patients, look for an attorney who will request records from every provider involved, not just the hospital. Confirm experience with the A.R.S. § 12-2603 affidavit process.
