Medical malpractice is one of the most commonly recognized forms of malpractice. It refers to the breach of duty by the medical professionals (such as doctors, nurses, technicians, therapists, or hospitals) in providing a decent standard of care to the client and, in the process, cause damage, injury or loss to the client. In such cases of medical malpractice, the client has the right to sue the medical professional. But this is not possible for just any layman. He or she has to rely on an attorney or lawyer who is an expert in medical malpractice.
