What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is when a patient is harmed by a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional – either through omission or a negligent act – that results in injury and/or death.

Types of Medical Malpractice

The most common types of medical malpractice are:

  • Failure to diagnose. When a doctor fails to discover a patient’s illness or makes an incorrect diagnosis that causes the patient to have a worse outcome than they would have if the correct diagnosis was made.
  • Improper treatment. If a doctor selects a treatment but administers it incorrectly or if a doctor decides on a course of treatment that no other competent doctor would choose.
  • Failure to warn a patient of known risks. Doctors have to uphold the “duty of informed consent” which states that they must warn patients of all known risks before a procedure or treatment. If a doctor fails to do this, and the patient has an adverse outcome, the doctor may be liable.
