What Exactly Is Medical Malpractice?

Not every failed treatment or adverse outcome from treatment is the result of medical malpractice. The law recognizes that medicine is an evolving science and that a patient can have a less-than-ideal outcome even if no mistakes were made in their care. Instead, a healthcare provider’s treatment may constitute medical malpractice only when the provider failed to treat the patient in accordance with the applicable standard of care. 

The standard of care differs in every patient’s case, but it is broadly defined as the treatment decisions and actions that other reasonable medical providers of similar experience and training would undertake in identical circumstances. 

Medical malpractice asks whether a provider undertook the actions expected of them according to current standards of medical care. In many cases, a medical malpractice claim will require you to present testimony from another medical provider who can opine as to what the standard of care was in your case and how your treating provider’s actions failed to comply with that standard and caused you to suffer harm.
