What is Medical Malpractice?
When health care providers commit medical malpractice, it essentially means that they failed to act within the applicable standard of care defined by their specialty. The health care provider could have failed to do something he or she should have done (e.g. perform a diagnostic test), or could have done something that should not have been done (e.g. prescribe the wrong medication).
In most cases, a single individual is sued for medical malpractice, however entire medical facilities can also be found negligent, including nursing home facilities and hospitals. Here are some of the most common forms of medical malpractice that result in wrongful death and catastrophic injuries:
- Hospital Malpractice
- Surgical Errors
- Prescription Errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Emergency Room Errors
- Obstetrical Malpractice
- Psychiatric Malpractice
- Psychological Malpractice
