What Is Medical Malpractice?
"
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, and that failure causes injury.
These cases may involve:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Medication errors
- Failure to monitor or treat a condition
Some cases result in severe harm, such as catastrophic injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, serious burn injuries, or long-term complications affecting children.
