The term "medical malpractice" describes any treatment, lack of treatment, or other departure from the accepted standards of medical care, health care or safety on the part of a health care provider that causes harm to a patient. This often results in serious or catastrophic injuries.
Areas that fall under this category include (but are not limited to):
. Misdiagnosis
. Improper/substandard treatment
. Failure to treat
. Delay in treatment
. Failure to follow-up
. Prescription errors
Occurrences of medical malpractice may not be obvious to the average person. Accurate identification of medical departures requires a review and analysis by attorneys who are familiar with medicine along with the appropriate medical experts. More Info
