Medical malpractice is ordinary negligence by a healthcare provider which causes injury. Examples include being improperly diagnosed, treated, medicated or operated upon outside the standard of care.
Standard of care is that level of care, skill and treatment which is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by a reasonably prudent similar healthcare provider under similar circumstances.
If your physician has settled a malpractice claim or has a judgment on a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and make a determination. You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the physician.
