Medical malpractice refers to a situation in which a patient experiences negligence or intentional violation of a doctor or hospital or medical professional responsibilities.

- Failure to diagnose
- Unnecessary or Incompetent surgery, including intoxicated or drugged doctors or staff
- Sexual assault or misconduct by doctor, nurse, medical professional or non-medical hospital staff or personnel
- Failure to stabilize in the Emergency Room or Treat the patient because of the lack of insurance or inability to pay for medical care
- Incompetent medical practices, including surgical error, death by doctor, failure to monitor critical levels
- Hospital discharge or dumping due to discriminatory or prejudice
- Gross negligence leading to injury
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to warn the patient of known risks of a treatment or procedure
- Error in anesthesia
Most times, a medical malpractice case requires a patient to prove not only that their doctor breached the standard of care for a doctor or practitioner, on that particular medical issue; but, also, you have to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the medical mistake caused the harm and damage and the negligence resulted in the harm.
