An example of medical malpractice would be a provider ignoring or deviating from a standard of care. A physician must exercise reasonable care according to the local standards of care applicable to his or her profession.
In the event, a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or other medical provider violates the accepted standard of care, that provider can be liable for an injured person's damages. Although most health care providers do good work, sometimes errors can negatively affect a person and their family for the rest of their lives.
