What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?

Serious injuries or wrongful death are typically the direct result of medical negligence: physician errors or hospital liability.

Medical malpractice on the part of a physician occurs when a doctor makes a mistake, when there is failure to diagnose or to treat medical conditions in a timely, appropriate manner. Hospital liability involves a breach of policy or an injury-causing mistake made by a hospital employee. When these errors result in serious complications, injury or fatality, there may be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
