What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. This failure can involve a negligent action, such as a surgical error, or inaction, like failing to diagnose a serious condition. The standard of care refers to the level of care expected from a reasonably skilled medical professional in similar circumstances. If a doctor, nurse, or medical institution fails to meet this standard and causes injury or harm, it could be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
