Medical Malpractice. When a patient’s trust in a medical facility or provider is violated due to malpractice, the negligent party can be held liable for injuries sustained. These injuries can be caused by surgical errors, misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, prescription errors, treatment errors, and birth injuries.
