Medical Malpractice:
Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional health care provider—a doctor, nurse, dentist, technician, hospital or hospital worker—whose performance of duties deviates from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients. The negligence might be the result of errors in diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare or health management. When Doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals make mistakes that cause harm, you have the right to file a lawsuit against those professionals which may have committed malpractice resulting in injury, disability, physical impairment or death. The characteristics of medical malpractice are the violation of the standard of care, an injury caused by negligence, and significant damages. Medical malpractice can take many forms. Some examples of medical malpractice that might lead to a lawsuit are: failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, misreading or ignoring laboratory results, unnecessary surgery, surgical errors, improper medication or dosage, poor follow-up aftercare, premature discharge, disregarding patient history, failure to order proper testing, and failure to recognize symptoms.
