In a lawsuit for birth defect (or injury), how does a jury determine if a doctors actions were within the standards of good medical practice?
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. A specialist, like an obstetrician, is held to a higher standard of care–that of a specialist–than would be expected of a non-specialist.
