Medical Malpractice law and Medical law govern patients' rights. Medical malpractice is one of the key focuses of medical law, and relates to the liability of a medical professional for negligence in the diagnosis or treatment of a patient resulting in injury or death. Negligence is the predominant theory of liability concerning allegation of medical malpractice, making this type of litigation part of Tort Law. The physician-patient conversation and commencement of treatment already establish a treatment agreement. A culpable act may result from a violation of the duty to inform the patient, but also due to medical errors in treatment (medical malpractice). Physicians, as professionals, owe a duty of care to those who seek their treatment. If medical malpractice is suspected, the best way to protect a patient’s rights is to contact a qualified attorney.
