What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or institution fails to provide the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. Common examples include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical mistakes
  • Birth injuries
  • Emergency room errors
  • Medication errors
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Nursing negligence
  • Failure to monitor or treat complications
  • Hospital negligence

Not every bad outcome is malpractice. However, when negligence or incompetence leads to injury, legal action may be appropriate—and necessary for your recovery.
