Results of Medical Malpractices

Doctors, nurses, and other licensed health care professionals have a duty to perform procedures to the best of their abilities and according to accepted standards by the medical community.

When a medical practitioner/professional breaks this duty due to carelessness, recklessness or deliberate acts or omissions, then this is classified as medical malpractice. If this sustains harm as an effect of the malpractice and economic damage, one can file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
