Thoughts on medical malpractice law: A study by Johns Hopkins University estimates that roughly 225,000 people die each year from some type of medical malpractice—errors like being prescribed or administered the wrong dose of medication, improperly cutting an organ or blood vessel in a surgical procedure, or failing to correctly diagnose a serious problem like cancer. While medical error or mistake is the third most common reason for death in the U.S., just 2% of those who suffer from medical malpractice file claims for damages. In a medical malpractice lawsuit in Arizona, a patient must prove that the physician or hospital acted negligently in providing care, and that this negligence caused injury. There are four elements that the injured plaintiff must prove: (1)a professional duty owed to the patient;  (2)a breach of that duty; (3)an injury caused by the breach; and  (4)damages that resulted from the breach of that duty.
