Medical Malpractice Claims in Connecticut The Element of Standard of Care

A medical professional’s mistake alone does not mean they are liable for malpractice. Under Connecticut law, a similar healthcare provider must attest to the evidence in which the subject medical professional has breached the standard of care. “The standard of care is the level of care, skill, and treatment that, under the relevant circumstances, is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by a reasonably prudent similar health care providers.”

Patient Safety America- Their Mind. Your Life.

In 2002, Dr. John James’ 19-year-old son was diagnosed with heart arrhythmia. A few weeks later, he collapsed while running and later passed away. Dr. James believes his son died as a result of uninformed, careless, and unethical care by cardiologists. He has since devoted his life to improving patient safety. James’ website, Patient Safety America, lists the three levels in which patients can protect themselves.

1. Be a Wise Consumer of Healthcare – Demand Quality, Cost-Effective Care for Yourself and Those you Love,
2. Participate in Patient Safety Leadership through Boards, Panels and Commissions that Implement Policy and Laws, and
3. Sponsor and Work for Laws that Favor Safer Care, Transparency, and Accountability.

James hopes to establish a nationally enforced patient bill of rights similar to that of the rights in which workers have to protect them from unsafe working conditions. For more information on James’ efforts to educate patients concerned about their healthcare and to view his ‘National Hospitalized Patient Bill of Rights’, visit his website http://patientsafetyamerica.com/.

Medical Negligence Claims in Connecticut

We trust our medical professionals with our health and the well-being of our loved ones, which is the most precious thing we have. Breaking that trust is inexcusable – but it happens daily in hospitals and doctors’ offices across the nation.

Every time we go to a medical facility, we presume healthcare providers to evaluate our symptoms promptly and adequately. We believe that medical professionals will diagnose and treat our illnesses and injuries within the medical standards of care expected and practiced by the medical community. Whenever doctors deviate from those standards, they leave their patients susceptible to severe injuries or even death. Too often, patients don’t get the care they expect and deserve. Their doctors make devastating mistakes. Life changes in an instant.

These tragedies should not happen. When they do, the patient has the right to seek compensation. If you have been the victim of Medical Malpractice in CT give Buckley Wynne Parese a call today!
