The failure to provide professional services with the skill usually exhibited by responsible and
careful members of the profession, resulting in injury, loss, or damage to the party contracting
those services. Though accountants, lawyers, and other professionals can be charged with
malpractice, the term is most commonly associated with medical professionals (e.g., doctors,
nurses, hospital technicians.) Most medical malpractice suits are for negligence on the part of
medical professionals in providing expected level of care.
Malpractice has led to significantly higher rates for malpractice insurance and, some studies
indicate, a "defensive" approach to medicine in which medical personnel are unwilling to order
any potentially risky procedures, and protect themselves against subsequent legal action
through excessive patient testing and treatment that does not improve the outcome. The most
significant medical costs increases are believed to result from excessive testing and treatment,
which have been estimated to be as much as six times as great as direct costs. There have been
a number of proposed solutions to the increasing burden of malpractice costs, including
compensation boards, no-fault statutes, limits on the amount of damages available in various
malpractice suits, and an annual limit on the amount that malpractice insurance premiums can
increase. Under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (1974), managed-care
organizations are protected from claims for damages resulting from a denial of benefits.

Otherwise known as the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, is enacted primarily to protect and

constituting sexual harassment. It likewise provides for the duties and liabilities of the employer
