What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is an act of negligence or carelessness on the part of a health care professional, including doctors, nurses, hospitals, chiropractors, therapists, or other licensed medical care providers, who deviate from conventional medical standards. Malpractice can happen when a patient’s medical condition is improperly diagnosed or treated, causing their condition to worsen or even resulting in a new injury. Sometimes, medical malpractice is straightforward, but oftentimes it involves complex medical issues. That’s why you should consult with Hughes & Mashinski, so we can provide you with the information you need.
