What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
Serious injuries or wrongful death are typically the direct result of physician errors or hospital liability.
Medical malpractice on the part of a physician occurs when a doctor makes a mistake or fails to diagnose and 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.
