What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice (or medical negligence) occurs when a doctor, nurse, dentist or hospital does not properly diagnose or treat a medical condition and injures a patient. There are many ways a doctor, dentist or podiatrist can commit malpractice, including:

Although doctors do not guarantee results, they must use reasonable care when they diagnose and treat their patients. The most common types of medical malpractice occur when doctors improperly diagnose patients or when they make mistakes that causes serious injury to their patients. A misdiagnosis can occur when doctors fail to order appropriate diagnostic tests, such as x-rays, blood tests, MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CAT (Computer Axial Tomography) Scans, or when doctors fail to diagnose a condition in a timely manner. Malpractice also occurs when doctors fail to read scans correctly, allowing an illness or injury to get worse because it was not properly treated. Medical malpractice also includes failing to give anesthesia properly or in a timely manner, causing serious injury to the patient.
