What is Medical Malpractice?
In order to establish that medical malpractice occurred, the plaintiff must prove that the physician involved in his care deviated from the accepted standard of practice for that type of medicine.
Importantly, this does not mean that just because another physician would have done something differently that the defendant breached the standard of care. The plaintiff has to prove that no reasonable physician in that specialty would have done it that way. An error in judgment is not malpractice. |
