Medical malpractice or medical negligence occurs when a negligent act or omission by a doctor or other medical professional results in damage or harm to a patient.

Negligence by a medical professional can include an error in diagnosis, treatment, or illness management. If such negligence results in injury to a patient, a legal case for medical malpractice can arise against:

• The doctor, if his or her actions deviated from generally accepted standards of practice;
• The hospital for improper care or inadequate training, such as problems with medications or sanitation;
• Local, state or federal agencies that operate hospital facilities.

Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients' rights to pursue compensation if they are injured as a result of negligence. However, malpractice suits are often complex and costly to win.
