What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is the allegation that a medical worker did not uphold a reasonable standard of care or responsibility with his or her patient. When health care workers make careless mistakes or fail to uphold their professional responsibilities, they can cause the serious illness, injury, or death of their patients. Although the term malpractice is usually used in association with medical cases, other professionals in other fields can engage in malpractice as well.
