What Medical Malpractice Means
The medical community sets forth a standard of care that all medical professionals have to uphold. When the care provided by a medical professional doesn’t meet this standard, and their patient becomes injured or loses their life, it may be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
For example, suppose a doctor is performing a blood transfusion on a patient and incorrectly reads their blood type. If the doctor continues with the procedure and gives the patient the wrong blood type, they are liable for any injury that occurs.
