Improper Standard of Care

In medical malpractice law, standard of care is the required minimum degree of prudence and caution required of medical professionals. A breach of this benchmark is considered medical negligence.

Standards of care are set by state regulations and by the medical industry. When this standard has not been met, victims are entitled to compensation for any resulting harm. If a physician or other medical staff member fails to provide a patient with the proper care, medical negligence has occurred.
