Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits can arise when people are injured by the negligent acts of a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, hospital, or other healthcare provider. When a health care provider is determined to be legally responsible for injuring a patient, he or she is liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person compensatory damages. Compensatory damages are meant to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before the injury occurred.
