Understanding Medical Malpractice (Medical Negligence)

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or medical institution fails to provide the standard of care expected in the medical community, resulting in injury or harm to a patient. These cases often involve complex legal and medical issues, requiring detailed knowledge and expertise to navigate successfully.
