Medical malpractice is committed when a medical provider or professional causes an injury to a patient through a negligent act. Areas consist of wrong diagnosis, incorrect treatment where the correct standard of care was ignored, negligent follow-up or misuse of health information management. Medical malpractice laws fall under the authority of state laws. To be successful in a malpractice case, a patient must prove that the injury was the outcome of substandard care. Under California law, a complaint needs to be filed within three years after the date of the injury or one year after the injury was found.
