Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can involve a doctor, surgeon, hospital, clinic, nursing center, or any health care provider who fails to properly diagnose, treat, or follow-up a medical condition.

• Failure to order tests for suspected or possible illness or disease
• Failure to make referrals to appropriate specialists
• Failure to properly interpret test results
• Misdiagnosis of a condition or illness
• Inappropriate treatment
• Overmedication, undermedication, or prescribing the wrong medication
• Surgical errors
