Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when a physician, dentist, nurse or other healthcare provider fails to do something that should have been done or does something that should not have been done, and this results in injury or death. There are minimum standards of care that must be met when caring for patients. While a simple mistake is not enough to constitute negligence, a death or injury caused by the failure to provide reasonably appropriate and common standards of care or the failure to diagnose an easily detectable illness may be malpractice.
