Docs can you explain what is a "medical malpractice"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reasonable care. : Best is to let an attorney have expert witnesses testify as to the reasonableness of care and whether the care was the standard of care for the medical specialty involved. This will include any duty owed to the patient for care, breach of that duty, whether the breach of the duty is a direct causation of the alleged malpractice, and the damages claimed. If both negligence, and damages related to the negligence cannot be proved, there is no medical malpractice case.
