What is the standard of care in regards to medical malpractice lawsuits?
The judicial system in Idaho requires that a judge who is in charge of medical malpractice cases considers what is known as the standard of care while determining or deciding whether or not medical malpractice actually transpired in the case as alleged.
The standard of care or the accepted standard of care is a well-defined set of steps or actions that any reasonable doctor in the same situation would have taken in order to diagnose and treat the patient for their medical condition.
When there is no predefined standard of care for a particular medical condition or situation (which is possible), then a medical expert may be summoned to provide or define the standard of care. When the actual standard of care provided is found to be below the accepted standard of care, medical malpractice is said to have occurred.
If, however, the steps and treatment provided by the doctor is in line with or actually better than the accepted standard of care then it is not considered medical malpractice.
If medical malpractice is deemed to have taken place, the plaintiff can claim three types of damages, namely economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages. Let us take a look at what these are what they mean.
