Medical malpractice occurs when a physician or other healthcare professional fails to adhere to accepted standards of care or is negligent in the way that medical care is provided.

Additionally, a physician must give full information to a patient and fully explain the medical care options so that the patient is able to make an informed decision. The doctor should inform the patient of the diagnosis and the nature and purpose of the treatment, alternatives to the treatment and the benefits and risks of the procedure itself as well as the risks of not undertaking the procedure.

Some common types of medical malpractice cases includes:

Did You Know?

12,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery


7,000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals


20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals


80,000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals


"Statutes of limitation" govern the length of time one has to file a lawsuit or be forever barred from pursuing such claim.
