Standard of Care

Professional regulations and organizations, and applicable federal and state laws help define the standard of care. Generally, professionals are required to exercise such care that a reasonable and prudent person in good standing in their community or profession would. Quite seldom do doctors consciously or deliberately disregard this standard, or act with malice in treating patients. However, for various reasons, it is quite common for treatment to fall below the required standard of care and result in further injury to the patient, or aggravation to a pre-existing condition. Misdiagnosis', negligent retention of surgical supplies in a patients body, hospital infections, and disregard of prior findings often contribute to the incidence of further injury to patients.

Negligence

Nobody anticipates mistakes being made by the very people to whom our lives are entrusted; however, these errors occurr everyday; and responsible hospitals and doctors can be held accountable by patients in order to compensate for their mistakes. All Health care professionals can be held accountable for their negligence, including, nurses, pharmacists, athletic trainers, nurse's assistants', occupational and physical therapists, dentists and orthodontists.The Journal of the American Medical Association released a study showing that 225,000 people die each year due to medical malpractice.http://www.resource4medicalmalpractice.com/topics/medicalmalpracticefacts.html 

Further, the report shows that although medical costs in general have increased by 113% since 1987, investment in medical malpractice insurance has gone up only 52%. This may be a reflection of a professionalist culture of solidarity among physicians in deference to their peers, or an economic based approach to treatment by insurance companies in denying claims, and regarding accountability in care with a cost-benefit analysis, geared towards profit, rather than health. The attorneys at Drivon, Turner & Waters believe individual consumer rights deserve protection through vigorous civil advocacy, in the event that they are compromised. If you have been injured at the hands of a negligent medical professional please contact us by phone at (209)644-1234 or at http://www.drivonlaw.com/
