How it constitutes malpractice if the jury decides to award a larger amount - at least not to me. If the jury feels an award (or punitive) amount should be higher, I just fail to see how that falls under malpractice under any circumstances.

As a medical professional, malpractice would be causing injury or other undesirable outcome. And I higher award amount isn’t an undesirable outcome in my mind. I guess it’s a matter of the difference of perspectives. 🤷?♂️
