Evan Granowitz Defines Medical Malpractice and Its Implications
Evan Granowitz, a specialist in tort law, has seen many negligence tort cases, and he explains that some of the most common can stem from medical malpractice. A medical malpractice is a type of professional negligence that could be an act or omission made by a health care provider (which covers a number of medical professions), in which care given to a patient or individual deviates from the outlined standards of practice made by the medical community. The negligence or omission could cause injury or death to the patient.
Standards for medical malpractice can be different depending on country, as well as the jurisdictions within the country. Medical professionals can obtain professional liability insurances, says Evan Granowitz, offsetting risks and costs of lawsuits. A doctor would also be liable for prescribing any experimental drugs and cosmetic surgery. But these, as with other types of medical malpractice, rely heavily on the circumstances.
The case depends on certain elements:
1. A duty owed, where a legal duty exists in a hospital or health care provider in undertaking care or treatment of a patient.
2. A duty would be breached: wherein the provider failed to conform to the relevant care standard.
3. The breach of care would involve an injury, and that the breach of duty was the proximate cause for the said injury.
4. And finally, damages, without which there would be no basis for a claim: these could be pecuniary or emotional damages.
