What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s negligence results in harm to a patient. This could be due to errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. When a trusted medical professional fails in their duty of care, the consequences can be life-altering—or even fatal.

Some common examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to diagnose or incorrect diagnosis leading to improper treatment.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, including operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient.
  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery causing harm to the mother or child.
  • Medication Errors: Incorrect prescriptions or improper administration of medication.
  • Hospital Negligence: Errors made by hospital staff or poor policies leading to patient harm.
