Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is an omission by a healthcare provider that deviates from conventional principles of practice in the medical community and causes injury to a patient. Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor, or other health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, causes an injury to a patient. 

The negligence might be the result of errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. A successful medical action requires the claimant to show a violation of the standard of care, an injury caused by the negligence, and that the injury caused significant damages.


Examples of medical negligence that might lead to a lawsuit:

  • Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis.
  • Misreading or ignoring laboratory results.
  • Unnecessary surgery.
  • Surgical errors or wrong site surgery.
  • Improper medication or dosage.
  • Poor follow-up or aftercare.
  • Premature discharge.
  • Disregarding or not taking appropriate patient history.
  • Failure to order proper testing.
  • Failure to recognize symptoms.
