What is the Standard of Care Definition in Medical Malpractice?
When you visit a doctor, surgeon, nurse, or any kind of health care provider, you are entitled to expect a certain level of quality from their service. This is defined as a "standard of care". All health care professionals receive extensive, mandatory training to ensure that they are able to provide the appropriate level of medical care. Our Tavares medical malpractice lawyer understands that these shortcomings or failures to provide a reasonable level of service can significantly affect a patient’s life and well-being.
Our attorneys are experienced with medical negligence cases involving:
- Surgical error
- Medication error
- Doctor error
- Misdiagnosis
- Anesthesia error
- Nurse error
- Hospital negligence
- Birth injuries
- Emergency room care negligence
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
