What does medical malpractice involve?

Medical malpractice involves an act or omission by a medical provider that deviates from the accepted standards of care. Negligence that results in further injury or death would be considered medical malpractice, as well as intentional acts to harm a patient. Statistics on medical malpractice in the United States reveal that diagnostic error accounts for about one third of total claims, but no single medical condition accounted for more than five percent of claims.
