It is important to remember that not all medical situations that end badly are the result of medical negligence. Determine if you have a potential case of negligence medical or bad practice is, at least, difficult. An indication that you have a potential case may be a result very different from the expectations of surgery or medical treatment or unexpected. In addition, death or severe injuries occurring as a result of a "routine treatment" in which doctors and professionals cannot give reasonable explanation for death or worsened condition of the patient, can give you clues that medical malpractice has occurred.

What exactly is the medical malpractice?
In Oregon, bad medical practice or medical malpractice is when there is an injury or death as a direct result of an error of a physician or other health care professional to treat the patient's condition. Injury or death caused by negligence can be a new condition of the patient, or an aggravated condition. A doctor cannot be responsible for the medical problems of the patient who have not been known and that have caused death or injury to the patient.
