Medical Malpractice refers to professional negligence by a heath care professional or provider in which treatment provided was substandard and caused harm, injury, or death to a patient. In the majority of cases, the medical malpractice or negligence involved a medical error, possibly in diagnosis, medication dosage, health management, treatment and/or aftercare. The error may have been because nothing was done (an act of omission), or a negligent act.
