Medical Malpractice Summary

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider (a doctor, dentist, nurse, etc.) provides inadequate treatment, leading to injury. This can result from a misdiagnosis or errors during surgery. Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider’s actions fall below the standards of healthcare, also leading to injury. This can result from not sterilizing equipment or sending a patient home too soon.
