Liability Considerations in Tucson
Medical Malpractice in Tucson
Tucson and Pima County operate under Arizona's favorable malpractice framework — no non-economic damage cap, a 2-year SOL from discovery, and a 60-day pre-suit notice requirement. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson is the region's Level I trauma center and the clinical home of the University of Arizona College of Medicine, meaning complex surgeries and high-risk OB are concentrated there. The UA medical school affiliation means many Tucson cases involve both the hospital (Banner) and physician faculty practice plans as defendants with separate insurance. Pima County is generally considered a somewhat more conservative venue than Maricopa County, but Arizona's constitutional prohibition on damage caps means unlimited non-economic damages are available for catastrophic claims.
