Medical malpractice lawsuits are filed after an individual has been injured due to the negligence of a physician, psychiatrist, nurse, dentist, hospital, podiatrist, chiropractor, or other health care providers of any kind.
The injury of a person due to a medical error (in cases when the action/error is not a crime) is considered a civil wrong or a “tort.” Such torts can be the grounds for a medical malpractice claim or lawsuit.
Sadly, the injuries that result from medical malpractice can be very serious and life changing.
