Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a form of improper healthcare when an injury results from the failure or omission of a medical professional or medical facility (hospital, doctor, nurse, medical technician, psychiatrist, or any healthcare facility) to provide appropriate care, skill or diligence in performing their duty. The determination of whether a duty of care is met depends on the accepted standards of practice and regulations for that professional or facility within the medical community.

It is important to remember that medical malpractice does not occur every time medical treatment is not successful. Rather, the duty is to provide good medical care according to accepted standards in the community, or in the case of a specialist, accepted standards in that medical specialty. A misdiagnosis becomes malpractice if the doctor fails to get a medical history, order the appropriate tests, or recognize observable symptoms of the illness.
