Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider causes harm to a patient through an act or omission of negligence. The law requires that the health care provider follow the standard of care — the level and type of care that a reasonably competent professional with a similar background would have provided under similar circumstances.

Health care providers that may be subject to a malpractice claim include: doctors, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, hospitals, and other health care facilities.
