What is medical malpractice?

You are naturally asking yourself if you have a legal case against your medical provider. Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider’s treatments or failure to provide treatments falls below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to a patient.

More common types of medical malpractice are:

• Failure to diagnose a medical condition
• Misdiagnosis of a medical condition
• Delayed diagnosis of a medical condition
• Failure to treat a medical condition
• Improperly treating a medical condition
• Medication prescription errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Surgical mistakes
• Childbirth injuries

It’s important to note that not all medical mistakes are malpractice, nor is it malpractice simply because a patient is unhappy with the outcome of treatments.

To establish medical malpractice, the health care provider’s treatments have to fall below the standard of care expected in the medical community, causing an injury or injuries to the patient.
