If the injury was the result of a doctor or attorney's wrongful handling of a matter it may constitute malpractice.

Re: personal injury

It is called negligence. Special restrictions apply to claims of medical negligence, however, and you must comply with statutory presuit requirements designed to protect doctors and make it difficult to bring suit against them when they are negligence.
