Medical malpractice includes any negligent act committed by a medical professional (which can include anyone providing a healthcare service, i.e. doctors, pharmacists, dentists, psychologists, etc.) that does not meet a standard of quality set by other professionals in the medical field.
In other words, if a healthcare provider of any sort causes you some injury through their own carelessness or negligence, then he or she has committed medical malpractice.
Like all personal injury cases, medical malpractice suits involve a plaintiff (the victim) suing a defendant (the person or persons responsible for the victim's injury). In order for the plaintiff's case to be successful, it must be proven that the defendant violated a legal duty of care that he or she had to the victim. Essentially, healthcare professionals have a responsibility to do everything they can in the interest of their patients' safety and well-being. When they fail this responsibility, they are responsible for the injuries that come out of that negligence.
Medical malpractice cases begin with discovery, which includes depositions, a gathering of evidence, and interviews with witnesses. If the defendant and the plaintiff cannot come to an agreement during this time, the case goes to trial.
Due to the complex nature of modern medicine, medical malpractice cases often involve expert witnesses. These witnesses are other medical professionals and their testimony is key to success. They are there to prove that the defendant's actions crossed the line into negligence.
Over the years, legislators have changes the laws surrounding medical malpractice cases. This tort reform has implemented extensive conditions which must be met for a medical professional to be held liable for a patient's injury. If your case is not presented in such a way that these conditions are met, you are not likely to be successful.
