Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is an act in which a doctor, surgeon, or other licensed healthcare provider acts negligently, causing injury or death to a patient. Patients expect a timely diagnosis of a medical problem along with proper treatment. In some cases a delay in diagnosis may have serious consequences to the patient and may affect their quality of life. Some examples of medical negligence may include, but are not limited to, delay in diagnosis, surgical error, failure to diagnose a medical condition, improper treatment of an illness or disease, or anesthesia error.
