What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice refers to a legal concept that arises when a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or hospital, deviates from the accepted standard of care in their treatment of a patient, resulting in harm or injury. It involves negligence or a failure to provide appropriate medical care, which can lead to significant physical, emotional, or financial consequences for the patient.

Required Elements in a Medical Malpractice Claim

In order to establish a medical malpractice claim, several elements must typically be proven:

  • Duty of Care: It must be demonstrated that a doctor-patient relationship existed, establishing a duty of care on the part of the healthcare provider.
  • Breach of Duty: It must be shown that the healthcare professional breached their duty of care by failing to provide treatment in accordance with accepted medical standards. This may involve acts of omission (failure to diagnose, failure to inform, etc.) or commission (surgical errors, medication errors, etc.).
