Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or medical professional's care falls below the appropriate standard of care and their actions hurt a patient.  Actions that may result in a malpractice lawsuit range from failure to diagnose or misdiagnose to making a surgical error that results in unexpected disability.  

A plaintiff suing for medical malpractice in Massachusetts or Pennsylvania will have to prove a doctor-patient relationship, the doctor's lack of meeting an appropriate standard of care that then lead to the harm of a patient.
