What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional exercises negligence or causes harm to a patient. Malpractice can occur in the diagnosis or treatment. Sometimes, the injury occurs because the doctor does nothing to help the patient (omission) or fails to use reasonable care (negligence). This type of malpractice is extremely serious. It can cause injury or even death for the patient.

Famous Medical Malpractice Cases

In 2007, actor Dennis Quaid and his wife sued the hospital that treated their twins’ staph infections after finding out they gave their babies the wrong dosage of treatment (1,000 times too much).

In 2007, Sherman Sizemore’s family sued the hospital that operated on Sizemore while he was still conscious. He was not given the adequate dosage of anesthesia and could feel the pain but could not communicate for 16 minutes.

In 1997, actress Julie Andrews filed a malpractice lawsuit due to a botched surgery that was supposed to remove nodules on her vocal chords. Instead, the surgery permanently damaged her voice.
