Thousands of people are injured every year as a result of medical malpractice. Each year more than 180,000 people die because of medical mistakes. More than two-thirds of medical malpractice injuries are preventable and 1.3 million injuries are caused by negligence.

Medical malpractice is the failure of a medical professional or a medical facility to use the standard of good medical practice in the areas in which the medical professional or medical facility specializes. If the medical professional or medical facility fails to meet the standard of good medical practice and harm results to a patient, then they may be liable for any resulting damage.
