What is medical malpractice? What is a birth injury?
Medical malpractice occurs when a physician fails to understand the risk of a disease or injury and doesn’t make a timely and proper diagnosis of a disease or injury, causing the patient to sustain further harm or injury. It can also arise in performing faulty operations or other treatment, that falls beneath the required standard of care. Simply stated, it is necessary for the patient to prove that if the physician had acted properly, the outcome would have been a cure, successful rehabilitation or other improvement of the condition being treated.
