Malpractice - Every year thousands of people are the victims of medical malpractice. In a recent study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health it was estimated that, each year, more than 180,000 people die, at least in part, because of medical mistakes. Public Citizen, a non-profit organization which advocates the rights of consumers, estimates that, each year, 1.3 million injuries are caused by negligence, and that more than two-thirds of these injuries are preventable. Malpractice is the failure of a medical professional or a medical facility to meet the standard of care practiced in the areas in which the medical professional or medical facility specializes. A medical professional may be a doctor, a nurse, a medical technician, or other health care provider. A medical facility may be a hospital, nursing home, medical testing facility or clinic. If the medical attention fails to meet the standard of care and harm results to a patient, the medical professional or medical facility may be liable for any resulting damages.
