What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides care that falls short of the proper standard, resulting in harm, injury, or death to a patient. If it can be proved that the average physician would have acted differently under similar circumstances, the provider may be held responsible for the patient’s injuries. Similarly, if the care provided falls below the accepted standard of practice, and causes injury or death to the patient, this also constitutes malpractice.
