Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home and Healthcare Negligence
Medical negligence or “malpractice” occurs when a physician or healthcare provider either fails to do something that should have been done or does something that should not have been done, resulting in injury or death.
While some acts or omissions may not be enough to constitute negligence, a death or injury caused by the failure to meet minimum standards of care such as the failure to diagnose an easily detectable illness may be malpractice.
