Medical malpractice is professional negligence by act or omission of a health care provider in which the care that was provided deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to the patient. Medical professionals are required to maintain professional liability insurance to offset the risk and costs of lawsuits based on medical malpractice.
