Under New Jersey Law, What is Considered Medical Malpractice?
When a hospital, doctor, or other health care provider departs from the accepted standard of care and harms a patient, whether via a negligent act or medical omission, medical malpractice is a legal cause of action that may lead to legal action in the form of a lawsuit against the doctor, hospital or both. It is distinct from objecting to the results of a medical procedure, and it does not apply to all errors.
