Healthcare providers belong to a profession. Generally, a profession has a licensing board that establishes the criteria for belonging to that profession, conducts an exam of applicants, mandates continuing education, and enforces the rules and regulations for that profession. However, just because someone passed an exam and belongs to a profession does not mean they cannot make mistakes.
Mistakes are typically made when someone is careless, inattentive, or doesn’t follow the policies and procedures to ensure they are doing their job safely. Being negligent is another way of saying someone was careless, inattentive, or didn’t follow the rules. Because medical mistakes are often viewed from a negligence standpoint, Medical Malpractice cases are also referred to as Medical Negligence cases.
We often tell a jury that there is a standard of care that we all have the right to receive. The standard of care doesn’t mean that perfect decisions have to be made by our healthcare providers. It means that we expect providers to act reasonably and provide care consistent with their training and experience and the kind of care we expect in our community. If we are lucky, we get that provider who demonstrates the highest level of competence in their field, and that, of course, would be excellent care. The reality is that we sometimes receive care that falls short of this standard, and that is when an experienced attorney can help.
Medical malpractice or medical negligence occurs when the healthcare provider’s conduct falls below what is acceptable in our community. Our lawyers across the region, from convenient locations in Charlotte, Hickory, Greenville, Rock Hill, and Columbia, are often asked to evaluate a situation in which a poor outcome occurred. However, poor results do not necessarily translate to negligent care. Poor outcomes can certainly arise even at the very highest level of competence and care. An experienced lawyer knows the difference and will guide you through the process of evaluating your situation correctly.
Choosing the right lawyer to represent you for a medical malpractice case is even more critical because changes in the law over recent years limit the recovery that a person can receive if they have medical malpractice injuries.
