While most instances of hospital malpractice occur in the surgery room, medical mapractice can also occur at accident scenes or on the way to a hospital.

For instance, when a person is injured following a car accident, then emergency medical staff often arrive to the scene of the accident and attempt to treat the victim. If the medical emergency staff does not follow procedure or acts negligently in some other way, then the medical staff may be guilty of medical malpractice.
