Medical malpractice and negligence are related concepts, but there is a subtle difference between the two. Negligence refers to a failure to take reasonable care to prevent harm to another person, while medical malpractice is a specific type of negligence that is committed by healthcare providers and medical professionals. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider or medical professional fails to meet the standard of care that is expected of them, causing harm to a patient. The standard of care refers to the level of care and skill that a reasonable healthcare provider in the same specialty would provide in similar circumstances. Negligence, on the other hand, can occur in any situation where a person owes a duty of care to another person. For example, a driver who fails to stop at a red light and causes an accident may be considered negligent. In both cases, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant breached their duty of care and that this breach caused the plaintiff's injuries. However, in a medical malpractice case, the standard of care is specific to the healthcare provider's profession and specialty. If you believe you have been a victim of medical malpractice or negligence, it is important to contact an experienced lawyer to discuss your legal options.
