Rochester Medical Malpractice Lawyers
The definition of medical malpractice has two parts. The first part is that a doctor or medical professional must have departed from the accepted standard of care. In other words, they must have done something that none of their peers would have done or failed to do something that every one of their peers would have done. The second part is that the departure from the accepted standard of care must have caused a serious medical problem.
A Bad Outcome Does Not Necessarily Indicate Medical Malpractice
Unfortunately, it is possible for a doctor or medical professional to do everything he or she was supposed to do and still achieve a negative outcome. There are no grounds for a medical malpractice case unless there has been some form of negligence. If a doctor had two equally acceptable options to choose from, and the option chosen yielded negative results, that does not indicate medical malpractice.
