Medical malpractice is a form of professional negligence committed by health care providers, resulting in injury or death to the affected patient. When a medical professional fails to perform up to industry-set standards, or when he or she behaves carelessly, a patient may suffer needless harm. Common examples of medical malpractice include hospital negligence, nursing home abuse, pharmaceutical errors, birth injuries, misdiagnosis, and unreasonable delay in treatment.
