Medical malpractice is an generally considered to be the act or error caused by a health care provider, physician or doctor which strays from the accepted standards of practice in the medical community and will almost always cause injury to the patient.

How extensive is the problem?

Approximately 80,000 people die in the United States each year due partly to medical malpractice. In addition, some studies have revealed that autopsy studies showed rates between 35 and 40% of missed diagnoses with most resulting in death. Unfortunately, these statistics are only based on hospital studies, therefore one might assume that the numbers would be much larger after factoring in healthcare clinics, private doctors offices, or other treatment facilities.
