What Is Medical Malpractice?
- Standard of Care: The level and type of care that a reasonably competent and skilled healthcare professional would have provided in the same or similar circumstances. It represents the accepted, reasonable and prudent practice for a given condition or situation, and it is a key element in determining if medical negligence has occurred.
- Breach & Harm: If a medical professional fails to meet this standard and a patient is harmed as a result, it can be considered a breach of the standard of care. This substandard care must directly cause you physical injury or economic loss.
- Examples: Misdiagnosis, wrong-site surgery, leaving objects inside the body during surgery, or medication errors.
