What is Medical Malpractice?

Also commonly referred to as medical negligence, medical malpractice occurs when a physician fails to properly treat a medical condition, resulting in a new or aggravating injury to the patient. Medical malpractice claims may arise when a physician acts in a manner that would be considered unacceptable when compared to how another physician with similar training might act.

Physician Malpractice and Nursing Negligence

Everyone knows that when a doctor's negligence causes harm, injury or death, the victim or their family has a claim for medical malpractice. However, medical malpractice extends beyond doctors. Nurses and other healthcare professionals are also capable of negligence and medical malpractice. In today's society, nurses and other healthcare providers are overworked and underpaid. Some facilities simply don't have enough nurses on staff to accommodate the number of patients. In addition, some hospitals allow medical procedures to be performed by inadequately trained nurses or by aides without adequate supervision.
