Medical malpractice is defined in the law as a departure from accepted medical practice. That is, a doctor did (or did not do) that which a reasonable doctor would have done under similar circumstances. A mere error in judgment is not medical malpractice. These cases usually require a medical expert along with medical malpractice lawyers, in the same field of specialty as the doctor being sued, to testify in Court that a doctor's treatment fell below the accepted standards of practice.
