A medical perspective
Understanding the decisions behind your treatment.
Dr. Zaheer Shah brings experience as both a medical doctor and a lawyer to reviewing concerns about a physician assistant’s care. His work with charts, X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs helps him understand the medical information that may be central to a claim.
The review starts with your experience: why you sought care, what information was available to the treating providers, and how the treatment affected you. The focus is on the care delivered and the harm that followed.
Evaluating malpractice
What needs to be established?
A provider’s professional title or an unexpected outcome does not, on its own, establish malpractice. Arizona law requires proof of a departure from the applicable standard of care that caused injury.
The care provided
The review considers the care expected of a reasonably prudent provider in the same profession or class under similar circumstances.
The resulting harm
The evidence must connect the failure in care to the patient’s injury. That connection may require a detailed review of the treatment history.
Arizona law: A.R.S. § 12-563.
Records & evidence
Putting the medical story in order.
The clinical information
Medical charts, test results, and imaging help show what was known about your condition.
The treatment timeline
The sequence of visits, decisions, and follow-up care can clarify where concerns arose.
The effect on your life
Subsequent treatment and changes to your everyday activities help explain the consequences of the injury.
