What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in preventable patient harm. Not every negative medical outcome is malpractice—but when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other medical professional's substandard care causes injury, you have legal rights.

Key Elements of a Medical Negligence Claim

Duty of Care: A doctor-patient relationship existed

Breach of Standard: The provider failed to meet accepted medical standards
