What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional breaches a duty to uphold a standard of care. This standard of care refers to the obligation each medical professional has to each patient. This means behaving in a manner that does not cause harm, and acting in the way any other qualified professional would under the same circumstances.

Medical malpractice is a form of negligence. At our law firm, we believe negligence should never happen among those who are paid high salaries to protect our health and wellbeing. We hold health care providers to a higher standard of accountability—because their wrongful actions can have the most devastating impact on others’ lives.

Who Is Liable in a Medical Malpractice Case?

Any individual or entity with a professional duty to provide patient care can be guilty of medical malpractice. Whenever a health care provider violates a patient’s trust by deviating from the standard of care, the law can step in to make sure the negligent party takes financial responsibility for the repercussions of their actions.

When it comes to medical negligence, one or more party may be named as the defendant in a medical malpractice lawsuit. This may include:

Hospitals
Doctors
Nurses
Physician’s assistants
Surgeons
Anesthesiologists
Emergency room physicians and staff
Pharmacists
Pharmaceutical companies
Dentists
Medical technicians
