What is medical malpractice?

When you or a loved one is sick or injured, you place your trust in doctors and healthcare professionals to help you heal. Why wouldn’t you? They’ve spent years studying, training, and earning the right to provide medical care.

But tragically, that trust is sometimes broken. Far too many patients suffer serious harm — or even death — because of preventable mistakes and care that falls below accepted medical standards.

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or healthcare provider fails to deliver care that meets the accepted standard, and that failure results in injury, harm, or death. Despite their training and expertise, medical professionals are still responsible for treating you with the diligence and competence required by law and by the medical community.

These preventable errors can take many forms — a delayed or incorrect diagnosis, surgical mistakes, patient neglect, improper use of medical equipment, medication errors, or the failure to follow hospital protocols. Whatever the cause, the result is often devastating and life-altering.
