What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is generally an action involving carelessness on the part of physicians or other health care providers. It is a violation of an accepted standard of care recognized by medical boards, associations, clinics, and hospitals.

Many of the injuries that occur are the result of time constraints placed on the healthcare providers and can include medication errors like prescribing excessive doses of medicine or the wrong medication; emergency room errors and surgical errors such as treating or performing surgery on the wrong limb or organ, or failing to remove surgical tools at the end of surgery; and failing to properly treat bed sores in a nursing home.

There are many types of claims related to medical malpractice. Generally, a person must show that the medical provider violated a duty owed to the patient which resulted in injury.
