Medical malpractice is legally defined as occurring when a medical professional "misdiagnoses or fails to diagnose a medical condition, provides incorrect or fails to provide treatment for an ailment in appropriate time, or makes mistakes while performing a medical procedure." Additionally, in some states, medical malpractice also includes failing to gain informed consent from the patient for treatment, or failing to provide adequate information about treatment that leads to harm.
