Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice, also known as medical negligence, is the claim that advice, care or treatment rendered by a healthcare provider fell below the standard-of-care required in the community. As a result, the patient was injured or died. Medical malpractice is much more than a mistake made by a physician or other healthcare provider. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider does something that other competent doctors would not have done, or fails to do something most competent physicians would have done.
