Negligence is the breach of a duty caused by the omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs would do or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do. Actionable negligence consists in the neglect of the use of ordinary care or skill towards a person to whom the defendant owes the duty of observing ordinary care and skill. By this neglect, the plaintiff has suffered an injury to his person.

Recently, Indian people are much aware of their rights as patients. This is mainly due to certain facts that the cost of healthcare has gone up due to the high cost of diagnostic methods such as CT scan, MRI etc. High end modalities of cancer treatment, heart ailments, etc. All of this has led to this situation that deviant outcomes in treatment are unacceptable to the patients or their relatives, which are sometimes coupled with lack of care and failure to communicate with the patient and or his family, therefore medical medical malpractice compensations are on the rise.

The situation can be traced out from certain medical cases that dealt with

seeking redressal by the patients, for damages due to the negligence of the doctor 

cases involving a breach of confidentiality arising from the doctor-patient relationship 

Lack of proper consent.

In the case of medical negligence, the doctor will be held liable for certain medical malpractices. Hospital negligence claims arising out of medical negligence may be both criminal and/or civil or only civil in nature. Wrongful diagnosis and questionable negligent diagnosis in India is not always included in medical negligence cases in Indian statistics. These may be anesthesia errors or patient negligence cases.

Criminal liability can be imposed upon a medical practitioner under particular situations wherein a patient dies due to gross negligence wherein a doctor in his senses could not have done such an act of treatment. 

Death can also be due to malicious intent. To prosecute a medical professional for negligence under criminal law, it must be shown that the accused did something or failed to do something which in the given facts and circumstances no medical professional in his ordinary senses and prudence would have done or failed to do. The hazard taken by the accused doctor should be of such a nature that the injury which resulted was most likely imminent.
