Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to perform their duties correctly, resulting in patient harm, injury, or death. To pursue a legal case, patients must prove negligence by demonstrating that the doctor had a duty of care, acted carelessly, caused harm, and led to a tangible loss. Malpractice claims are typically governed by state laws, though federal courts may handle cases involving government facilities. Successful claims can lead to financial settlements.
