Medical Malpractice Law

Medical malpractice law addresses situations where healthcare providers fail to deliver the standard of care, resulting in harm to patients. This occurs when a medical professional, such as a doctor or nurse, makes a mistake through negligence or inadequate treatment, leading to injury or worsening of a condition. Patients who believe they have been harmed due to such negligence can seek justice and compensation through legal action. Laws governing medical malpractice vary by state, and cases typically require proving that the provider’s actions deviated from accepted medical practices.
