Medical malpractice or negligence occurs when a health care professional violates the governing standard of care when providing treatment to a patient, causing the patient to suffer an injury. Medical malpractice can result from an action taken by the medical practitioner, or by the failure to take a medically appropriate action. Examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Failure to diagnose, or misdiagnosis of, a disease or medical condition
  • Unreasonable delay in treating a diagnosed medical condition
