Please note that medical malpractice does not apply only to doctors. Other health care providers can also be held responsible for malpractice including nurses, dentists, psychiatrists, hospitals and even the manufacturers of medical devices. Be aware, however, that a bad result due to a health care procedure or treatment doesn't automatically mean malpractice was involved. For example, a heart surgeon may do everything right and still lose a patient during an operation. There is no malpractice in this situation.
Medical malpractice is a very complex and difficult area of personal injury law.
