Medical malpractice can take the form of negligence, in which the doctor, hospital, nurse or any healthcare provider did not take the proper action at the proper time. Negligently performing an operation and providing a patient with the wrong medicine are both examples of medical malpractice. In general, any healthcare professional who deviates from standard practices of modern medicine has committed medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought against doctors, nurses, obstetricians, radiologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, orthopedists, pharmacists, physical therapists, as well as hospitals, medical offices, surgical centers, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.
