Medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice, occurs when a healthcare professional or provider fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonable person in the same profession would provide under similar circumstances, resulting in harm to the patient. This negligence can arise from errors in diagnosis, treatment, medication, or even a lack of communication.
In essence, medical negligence involves a breach of the duty of care owed to a patient by a healthcare provider, leading to predictable and avoidable harm.
