2023Desert Images, LLC, 218 Ariz. 121, 128, ¶ 14 (App. 2008) (reasoning that the abuse of discretion standard should apply to the superior court’s decision whether expert testimony is required under A.R.S. § 12-2602, the companion statute to A.R.S. § 12-2603, because the determination at trial of areas of expert testimony is discretionary). ¶6 The Franciscos argue that A.R.S. § 12-2603 only applies to medical malpractice claims and that, because a lack of informed consent claim is not a medical malpractice claim, expert testimony is not required.

2018Desert Images, LLC, 218 Ariz. 121, 128, ¶ 14 (App. 2008). ¶10 A medical malpractice claim requires proof of a breach of the applicable standard of care and that the breach caused the plaintiff's injuries.
