Medical malpractice claims happen when a person is seriously harmed by the actions or negligence of a medical professional. Medical malpractice is not just limited to doctors, nurses, surgeons, or other medical professionals; hospitals and clinics may be held responsible as well.
Medical malpractice goes beyond the realm of a mistake (although a mistake surely is malpractice), it can also include failure to diagnose a serious health condition and other instances of negligence.
