Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital or health care professional acts negligently in providing medical care and caused a patient to suffer harm.

As unique as individuals are, so too are medical malpractice cases. Yet, medical professional negligence typically arises in these circumstances:
These and other types of negligence can lead a person to suffer catastrophic, lifelong, and sometimes fatal injuries.
Finally, a medical malpractice claim must show that the negligent act and resulting injury led to damages.
