Phoenix Urgent Care Negligence Attorney

While urgent care facilities offer the convenience of same-day-no-appointment visits, they are frequently overcrowded and understaffed. However, even in these situations, doctors, other health care providers, and clinics are held to a high standard of patient care. Negligence of administrative staff, nurses, and doctors in an urgent care center or emergency room is an injustice to patients and can result in serious illness, injury, or death. At Knapp & Roberts, we represent clients who have suffered as a result of the negligence of urgent care providers in the Phoenix and Scottsdale region.

We care … and we can help.
Let us tell your story.

Inadequate urgent care center procedures, failure to follow proper procedure, and other doctor error can cause urgent care patients to slip between the cracks — resulting in untreated illness and injuries that develop into catastrophic events. Our personal injury and wrongful death attorneys advocate for the rights of patients who have fallen victim to medical malpractice, including individuals who have suffered due to urgent care negligence.

Urgent care negligence can include:

• Failure to verify patient allergies or other vital information
• Failure to recognize the gravity of certain patient complaints/symptoms
• Negligent admission of a patient through the clinic's "quick check" process rather than requiring full doctor assessment
• Failure to attend to emergency conditions or direct a patient to the emergency room
• Failure to order hospital admission when warranted
• Failure to obtain a foreign language interpreter during patient intake

In addition to handling medical malpractice cases arising from urgent care negligence, our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience handling cases arising from hospital or emergency room negligence.

These cases can include instances where a patient's signs of heart attack or stroke are ignored and the patient is sent home — only to suffer the imminent condition and suffer fatal injuries.

Our attorneys have extensive trial skills, resources to thoroughly investigate a medical incident for negligence, and the unique ability to tell the story of how medical negligence has affected our client. This comprehensive and personalized approach enables us to maximize our client's compensation for their suffering.
