What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical Malpractice can cause serious personal injury and even wrongful death. Medical Malpractice occurs when a medical treatment, or lack of medical treatment, causes harm to a patient. Medical Malpractice also occurs when a medical professional deviates from accepted standards of medical care, causing harm to a patient.
When a patient sees their healthcare provider, they trust that the medical professional’s years of training and experience will provide the individual with the proper care. Unfortunately, for some patients, this is not the case. Medical Malpractice occurs when a negligent act or omission by a doctor or other medical professional results in damage or harm to a patient.
