Bad Medical Results vs. Medical Malpractice

Attorney Paul OConnor

One of the primary functions of an attorney is to determine the difference between a bad result and medical malpractice. We do that by going through all of the medical records and having those medical records reviewed by our experts.

Experts in the field of the specialty of the doctor involved in the care and treatment. There is a major distinction between a bad result and medical negligence. A doctor is not held to the standard of being all knowing or all powerful, practicing with a crystal ball and certainly they don’t need to be perfect. But rather a physician’s obligation is to act as the reasonable physician would under the circumstance.

If a physician acts reasonably, in other words if he acts as a reasonable physician would under the circumstances and a bad result happens anyway they are not negligent and they are not considered to have committed malpractice. However on the other hand if a physician fails to act reasonably and there is a result that is untoward, they are in fact responsible for that bad outcome.
