Medical Malpractice occurs when a physician fails to properly treat a medical condition and the negligent act or omission is the cause of additional or aggravated injury to the patient. Obviously the physician cannot be responsible for the original underlying medical problem. This negligence could cause a case against the doctor if his/her actions differ from generally accepted standards of practice, or it may be against the hospital for improper care. READ MORE
