What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice refers to a situation where a healthcare professional or facility, such as a hospital, breaches the standard of care expected in their profession, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. This could include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. In relation to hospitals, these issues could be due to mistakes made by any of the hospital staff, faulty procedures, or administrative errors.
The key to a successful claim lies in proving that the negligence directly resulted in the patient’s harm.

Types of Hospital Medical Malpractice Cases
Hospital medical malpractice cases can occur under various circumstances, including:
- Emergency room errors: These occur when a patient’s condition is misdiagnosed or mistreated in an emergency setting.
- Anesthesia errors: A minor mistake in administering anesthesia can lead to serious complications, including brain damage and death.
- Nursing malpractice: This can involve medication errors, failing to monitor a patient properly, or not reporting changes in a patient’s condition.
- Birth injuries: These can occur due to errors during delivery, leading to long-term health issues for the mother or child.
