Q
HOW DO YOU PROVE THAT A DR. OR OTHER MEDICAL PROVIDER DEPARTED FROM THE “ACCEPTED STANDARD OF MEDICAL CARE”?
A
A jury will consider testimony by experts — usually other doctors, who will testify whether they believe your physician’s actions followed standard medical practice or fell below the accepted standard of care. In deciding whether your heart surgeon was negligent, for example, a jury will rely on expert testimony to determine what a competent heart surgeon would have done under the same or similar circumstances.
