Medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice, occurs when a healthcare professional's actions or inactions fall below the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. This standard of care is defined by what a reasonable and prudent healthcare professional in the same specialty would have done under similar circumstances.
