What is Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the failure of a medical professional (doctor, nurse, medical technician, etc.) or a medical facility to provide care to an acceptable standard of quality in the areas in which the medical professional or medical facility specializes or practices.
A medical facility may be a hospital, a nursing home, or a medical clinic. If an injury to a patient occurs while a medical provider is performing below the required standard of care in diagnosing or treating medical conditions, the patient may have a cause of action for medical malpractice against that medical provider.
The "standard of care" is the accepted standard recognized by other health care providers in the same field of medicine under similar circumstances. If the medical attention fails to meet the standard of good medical practice and harm results to a patient, the medical professional or medical facility may be liable for any resulting damages.
