What Is The Standard Of Care?

FAQs Categories

Medical Malpractice

The standard of care is an accepted standard in the medical community in which professionals must provide care to a certain standard. If they fail to meet the standard of care, the patient could suffer injury or death.

Medical malpractice occurs if the standard of care is not met and the patient suffers as a result. It is used to help define whether or not a medical professional is responsible for medical malpractice.

By the Greater Weight of the Evidence

If it suspected that the standard of care is not met and the injured patient or family plans to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, they must prove it “by the greater weight of the evidence.” This means that they must make it clear that it is more likely than not that what the medical professional did is below the standard of care. This could also mean that they failed to do something that they should have.

How do you know if you have a medical malpractice lawsuit?

It can be very difficult to successfully prove medical malpractice. Although the “greater weight of the evidence” may seem less strict than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard, it takes a lot of work and expertise in the area to prove medical malpractice, making it imperative to hire a lawyer that is skilled and knowledgeable in the area of the law.
