What is considered medical malpractice? | Rhode Island Personal Injury & Social Security Disability

I’m often asked what is medical malpractice and how is that different from medical negligence? Medical malpractice and medical negligence are actually the exact same thing.

It’s when a medical care provider fails to provide the same level of care as an average competent doctor would provide to his patients. It is, in fact, a deviation from the standard of care that is ordinarily exercised by people that are practicing medicine.
