What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from accepted standards of care, resulting in injury, loss or death.
In practical terms, this might include:
-
A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis that changed the outcome of treatment
-
Surgical errors (wrong site surgery, retained medical instruments, anesthesia mistakes)
-
Medication errors (wrong drug, wrong dose, harmful interactions)
-
Failure to obtain informed consent
-
Birth injuries or catastrophic events due to medical or nursing negligence
