Medical malpractice is the failure of a medical provider or facility to the good standard of medical care. It is estimated that approximately 1.3 injuries occur every year in the United States as a result of medical malpractice. And sadly a large portion of these injuries could have been prevented.

When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person for their damages in an attempt to put the injured individual back in the position he or she was prior to being injured. In some cases, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits and are intended to punish wrongdoers.
