What is a Medical Malpractice Claim and Can I File One?

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional is negligent in their care of the patient. A medical professional can mean a doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, hospital staff, or lab worker. All of these professions come with a responsibility to make decisions that will not endanger a patient’s health and safety. When an injury occurs that is the result of negligence, the patient will then have the legal right to file a medical malpractice claim against the responsible parties.
