What is Medical Malpractice?
We turn to the expertise of physicians and other medical
professionals to help us stay healthy, and to put us on a proper course of
treatment for an illness, injury, pregnancy, or other health-related issue.
In the vast majority of situations, health care providers
offer professional and invaluable services to their patients. But mistakes
happen, good intentions aside. And even a seemingly slight error in
treatment or diagnosis can have devastating consequences.
"Medical malpractice" refers to cases in which a
doctor or other health care professional fails to perform competently in
providing care to a patient, and the patient suffers harm as a result.
Medical malpractice cases often share two characteristics:
on the practical side they come charged with emotion and stress, and on the
legal side they are extremely complex and challenging.
