Defining Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other healthcare provider fails to provide the requisite standard of care and as a result, causes injuries to the patient. The standard of care is measured by the level of care that medical providers in the same or similar field would offer in a similar situation. When a doctor breaches this standard of care, injured patients may have a valid medical malpractice claim. The appropriate standard of care depends on various considerations. For instance, factors such as the age of the patient, the nature and extent of the medical condition, and the standard protocols for treating that illness or injury may determine whether a case is valid. A patient’s lawyer must also prove that the breach in the standard of care directly led to the injuries sustained by the patient.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice
According to a recent study published in the British Medical Journal, medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Numerous types of situations may lead to medical malpractice lawsuits. Some common types of medical malpractice claims may include:

WHEN DOES POOR CARE QUALIFY AS MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
State laws regulate the quality of the care that all practitioners must legally provide to their patients. These laws require that all medical practitioners in Nassau County perform at the standard of care that a doctor in the same or a similar practice would. When a doctor provides substandard care that is not what another doctor in a similar situation would do, and they cause an injury or death, their care may be considered malpractice.
OTHER FACTORS DEFINING THE STANDARD OF CARE
A judge or jury that is assessing the acceptable standard of care for medical providers and medical facilities may take several factors into account, including:
- The city or state in which they practice.
- The patient’s overall health.
- Generally established medical knowledge concerning the condition.
- Equipment available on-site.
- Etc.
For example, if a large Nassau County hospital with state-of-the-art equipment injuries a baby during delivery and the mother is healthy, the injured individual’s malpractice claim may have merit.
