A mistake by a hospital, healthcare professional, doctor, nurse, technician, hospital worker, or administrator which causes injury or death is commonly referred to as medical malpractice or medical negligence. Most medical malpractice cases are determined by negligence principles and in order to claim a case, one must prove:

• A provider patient relationship existed
• The provider was negligent
• The providers negligence caused the injury
• The injury led to specific damages

Situations leading to a medical malpractice case vary. However, if someone is unhappy with the course of treatment, its outcome, or even if a doctor made a mistake, it doesn’t necessarily ensue medical negligence occurred. To legally claim a case, you must prove that the provider did not provide proficient, skilled care and therefore, their inability resulted in harm. The most common types of medical malpractice are:

• Failure to diagnose
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Improper treatment
• Failure to warn a patient of known risks
• Birth injuries
• Medication errors

Medical malpractice often results in cases that are complicated and technical and with the coaction of individual state laws, even further obstacles are presented.
