MEdical Malpractice OVERVIEW
The concept of medical malpractice negligence is very broad and encompasses virtually every kind of mistake that could be made by a medical professional. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide treatment that meets the customary standard of health care as provided by the medical industry.
A healthcare provider may be a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, hospital or any other medical professional involved in the diagnosis or treatment of a patient. The failure to satisfy the standard of health care, or medical negligence, may result in an injury to, or wrongful death of, a patient. Medical negligence can include an error in diagnosis, treatment or illness management, and can involve the doctor, hospital, health care facility, or governmental agency that manages the hospital or health care facility.
