What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider’s negligence causes harm. In plain terms, it’s when a doctor, nurse, or hospital makes a mistake that a competent provider would not have made — and that error leads to serious injury or even death. Examples include operating on the wrong body part, failing to diagnose a life-threatening condition, or prescribing the wrong medication. Across Maryland and Washington, D.C., where world-class hospitals operate alongside underfunded or understaffed facilities, the quality of care can vary greatly. When that care falls below acceptable standards and you're left suffering, you have the right to hold those responsible accountable.

Were You a Victim of Malpractice?

You may not be sure whether what happened qualifies as malpractice. Some signs include:

  • Another doctor gives you a very different diagnosis or treatment plan.

  • A procedure caused unexpected complications that were preventable.

  • The hospital or provider is evasive about what went wrong.
