What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is an act of negligence by a healthcare provider, pharmaceutical provider, laboratory, medical institution staff, or a medically-related institution. When someone is injured due to medical negligence or violations of commonly held standards of care, healthcare providers and the institutions they work for may be held liable. Those capable of committing medical malpractice include not only doctors, nurses, and hospitals, but also dentists, dental hygienists, chiropractors, physical therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, radiologists, and other medical technicians.
Medical malpractice litigation is expensive and time consuming, so a case must be built upon solid evidence of negligence, acts of omission, or harmful intent. Although many medical judgments are made in error, not all medical errors are considered negligence.
