What Is Physician Negligence?
According to the laws of New Jersey, negligence is the failure to comply with the standard of care to protect a person from harm. Negligence in a doctor’s medical practice, which is called malpractice, is the doctor’s failure to comply with the standard of care in the care and treatment of his or her patient.
In a physician negligence case, the plaintiff (the injured party) must establish that:
A standard of care existed
The physician had a duty to comply with the standard of care in the treatment of the patient
The standard of care was violated
The patient suffered harm
The violation of the standard of care cause the harm to the patient
Usually the standard of care that a physician owes a patient is determined by expert medical testimony. In some cases, however, members of the jury can determine from their own knowledge and experience whether the physician’s conduct violated the duty of care owed to the patient. In these cases, the jury must decide if the average physician practicing in the same field would have exercised the same level of skill and care as the defendant did in the same or similar circumstances.
