Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional or provider neglects to provide appropriate treatment, omits to take an appropriate action, or gives substandard treatment out of carelessness or lack of training and knowledge of his/her profession that causes harm, injury, or death to a patient.
The malpractice or negligence normally involves a medical error. This could be in diagnosis, medication dosage, health management, treatment, or aftercare.
Medical malpractice law makes it possible for patients to recover compensation from any harm that result from sub-standard treatment.
The medical professional is not automatically liable for all the harm and inconveniences a patient experiences. However, they are legally responsible if the patient experiences harm or injury because the health provider did not deliver the proper care and treatment that is normally expected from them.
