What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice refers to when a healthcare provider or medical professional fails to provide care that meets the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. The accepted standard of care is the level of care that a reasonable healthcare provider with similar training and experience would provide under the same circumstances. For example, if a doctor fails to diagnose a condition that a reasonable doctor would have diagnosed, and the patient suffers harm as a result, the doctor may be liable for medical malpractice. Medical malpractice can occur in any area of healthcare, including diagnosis, treatment, surgery, medication, and anesthesia. Patients who have been injured as a result of medical malpractice may be able to recover damages through a medical malpractice lawsuit. These damages may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help evaluate the strength of a potential case and guide the patient through the legal process.
