What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence is when a health care provider fails to act within the "standard of care" that other providers act within and their failure to do so results in injury or death to a patient. Medical negligence may include malpractice by doctors, hospital negligence, mistakes made by surgeons, nursing home injuries, pharmacists' errors, and other lapses in care committed by health care providers of all kinds.
