What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to meet a recognized standard of care and, as a result of this negligent failure, a patient suffers preventable illness, injury or death. In most cases, the malpractice consists of a negligent act or failure to act. It can happen at any stage in the treatment process, and it can involve any type of medical professional, including:

  • Doctors
  • Surgeons
  • Anesthesiologists
  • Nurses
  • Midwives
  • Pharmacists
  • Lab technicians
  • Psychiatrists or psychologists
  • Physical therapists
  • Dentists
  • Radiologists

Medical errors in the U.S. are among the leading causes of preventable injuries and death. According to the Diederich Healthcare Medical Malpractice Payout Analysis, insurance companies paid more than $3.8 billion in medical malpractice claims in the U.S. in 2017, including $78.8 million in Indiana alone.

Insurers paid about 31 percent of those funds for medical errors resulting in death. Significant permanent injuries accounted for 18 percent of the payouts, while major permanent injuries accounted for 17 percent, and brain damage, quadriplegia, and lifelong-care injuries accounted for 14 percent.
