What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide care that meets accepted medical standards, resulting in harm to the patient. Examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – Failing to identify a condition in time for effective treatment.
- Surgical Errors – Mistakes during operations, including wrong-site surgery or leaving instruments inside the body.
- Medication Mistakes – Incorrect prescriptions, dosage errors, or harmful drug interactions.
- Birth Injuries – Complications during labor or delivery that cause lasting harm to a newborn or mother.
- Failure to Monitor – Inadequate follow-up care or monitoring after procedures.
