Areas of Practice

Practice Areas

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one because of the wrongdoing of another is one of the most heartbreaking losses anyone can ever  experience. Arizona law allows certain family members to  recover for such a loss through litigation. If you believe negligence or wrongful actions of another led to the death of a loved one, contact our office to determine if you are  eligible to make a claim for your loss. 

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care required which results in catastrophic injury to a patient.

Our office provides comprehensive legal representation for  complex medical malpractice cases including but not limited to birth trauma, surgical errors, hospital injuries, coverup of medical harm, failure to treat, medical battery, pediatric medical malpractice, and general

medical negligence.

Elder Neglect
& Abuse

Arizona has the 12th largest population of elderly residents in the U.S. The long term care industry is charged with the care of our most vulnerable family members. Sadly, they often fail to staff their facilities to provide quality, safe care. This understaffing  leads to serious injuries and death from falls, drops, pressure sores, elopements and other forms of abuse and neglect.

Arizona has passed laws to protect our most vulnerable adults and hold long term care facilities accountable for abuse and neglect. The Law Office of Thomas M. Ryan is a leading force in the fight against abuse and neglect

of our vulnerable adults.

In 2020, our lawyers won the 2nd highest civil verdict in Arizona for an elderly woman who had been seriously injured at a rehabilitation facility. Through our success, Fadely v. HealthSouth is now considered one of the bell weather appellate decisions in holding enterprises liable

for the abuse and neglect of our senior citizens.

Personal Injury

Catastrophic injuries occur every day. Serious bodily injury can upend

a person’s life, cause medical bills to pile up, and require time away from paid work.

Our attorneys have specialized knowledge in representing victims of gas explosions and are experienced in representing individuals who have suffered burn trauma, traumatic brain injuries, and other life-altering injuries.

 

We are dedicated to helping individuals who have suffered serious injury as the result of negligent or intentional conduct of another.

Motor Vehicle Crashes

A normal day can change in an instant due to a motor vehicle crash. Serious injuries, lost wages and the loss of a life require an experienced attorney to get the compensation deserved for the claim.

Our skilled attorneys have proven results with all types of collisions Including: trucking, automobiles, motorcycles, delivery vehicles and airplanes.

 

We make sure your claim is handled thoroughly from the start by dealing with the insurance company for the property damage claim through every detail of the personal injury claim including liens for

medical treatment.

CO-COUNSEL

Co-Counsel Opportunities

Often, the Law Office of Thomas M. Ryan will partner with another firm to handle a complex or high-stakes case that requires specialized expertise, resources, or experience. For example, a firm specializing in personal injury law may team up with a firm that has deep experioence in product liability litigation to pursue a case that involves both legal specialties.

​​

The co-counsel relationship allows both firms to pool their resources, including legal reseach, expert witnesses, and manpower, to develop a stronger case. The primary firm may handle client relations, while the co-counsel firm provides critical support in terms of investigation, legal strategy, or trial preparation.

 

In this collaborative arrangement, both firms share responsibilities and risks, while also splitting any resulting fees based on their contributions. In its co-counsel cases, the Law Office of Thomas M. Ryan ensures that clear communication, mutual respect, and strategic alignment are at the forefront of the partnership, aiming for the most favorable outcome for their clients.
