What is Medical Malpractice?

If the treatment or advice you receive from a medical provider causes injury or worsens your medical condition; you might be the victim of medical malpractice. Though definitions of law vary with each state, Medical Malpractice is considered any negligence on the medical providers' part, which results in harm to the patient exclusive of the normal risk factors, involved. That is, when a provider does something or fails to do something that a reasonably prudent health care professional would do under the same or similar circumstances, negligence has occurred. If the negligence results in harm to the patient then the provider is guilty of malpractice.

Common medical malpractice injuries can include:

1. Failure to diagnose cancer: A third of all medical malpractice lawsuits involve this doctor error.
2. Birth injuries: These disorders can be caused by injuries to the brain.
3. Eye surgery: This common surgery is becoming a permanent nightmare for numerous Lasik Eye Surgery victims.
