Medical malpractice involves a health care provider's failure to meet the required standard of medical care, resulting in injury to a patient. Medical malpractice can cause injuries through lack of knowledge, lack of skill, ignorance, misdiagnosis, or simple mistakes such as over or under medication. In one recent study, the Institute of Medicine found that 98,000 preventable deaths per year were caused by medical mistakes in the U.S. alone, more than double those caused by auto accidents. Yet, medical malpractice remains one of the most difficult and complicated types of cases for an injured person to prove.
