What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?
As reported by WebMD in the article “What Is Medical Malpractice?”, patients may be entitled to legal recourse if they are harmed due to a healthcare professional’s negligence. Medical malpractice claims can lead to financial compensation and potentially disciplinary actions against the responsible provider.
Not every medical error results in a lawsuit, but in cases where there is proof of neglect, filing a malpractice claim may be appropriate. To be successful, a claim must establish that the doctor had a duty of care, acted carelessly, directly caused harm or injury, and that the patient experienced some form of loss—whether financial, emotional, or physical.
