Medical malpractice occurs when a negligent act or error by a doctor, nurse or other medical professional results in damage or harm to a patient. This could include misdiagnosis, treatment or illness management.

Malpractice and negligence claims could also exist against a hospital for improper care, such as problems with medications, sanitation or nursing care. An action for medical malpractice may also be brought against state or federal agencies that operate medical facilities.

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