Arizona lawmakers are set to weigh a measure that would make it more difficult for plaintiffs to recover damages in medical malpractice cases, the Arizona Daily Star reports. Under the proposed bill, plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases would be required to prove by “clear and convincing evidence’ that doctors failed to meet expected professional standards. A similar bill was vetoed by former governor Janet Napolitano in 2006. [Arizons Daily News].

Medical malpractice cases are complex, and the defense (read as: the doctors and hospitals) have a bank-full of money to make recovery of your damages as difficult as possible. Increasing the standard required is simply a further effort to preclude recovery by real men, women and children who have been harmed.
