Someone who is bound by a duty of responsibility must behave in the same manner as a reasonable person under the circumstances. For example, a driver has a responsibility of care to drive with safety and not to cause harm to other road users. If a driver fails to fulfill this duty and causes injury, the driver is accountable for any injuries that occur as a result.
Doctors are obliged to taking care of their patients at all times. This is even when a doctor is not your doctor like when you ask for advice in an elevator or an eatery. However, the obligation to be a good Samaritan is often governed by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals are also bound by a duty of care to warn their patients about the dangers associated with certain procedures and treatments.

This standard is established by the current laws and standards developed by medical associations. If a physician fails to meet this duty they are committing negligence. A malpractice lawyer will review the evidence and determine whether there was a violation of the standard of care.

Damages
The amount of money a person receives in a medical malpractice case depends on their injury and the amount of money they will need to pay for medical expenses and income loss or other financial losses. In certain cases the court may award punitive damages given to the plaintiff as a punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. These are rare, as doctors must have acted with recklessness or intent to receive punitive damages.
The law requires that a person alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the physician; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the established standards of practice; (3) as a consequence of the doctor's negligence the victim was injured and (4) the injury is quantifiable in terms of an amount in money. In addition the person who was injured must file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations which is different for each state.
The law recognizes the fact that some medical malpractice claims can be complex and expensive to resolve, particularly when they are based on complicated issues such as proximate cause or the possibility of foreseeability. Its aim is to provide victims the justice they deserve, while preventing the filing of frivolous and unjustified lawsuits to cause delays in the courts. It also aims to reduce costs by insisting that all defendants share the responsibility for the success of a lawsuit (joint and multiple liability) while limiting the amount a plaintiff can get if the other defendants do not have funds to pay ("damage caps) and stopping doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which entails altering their treatment plans due to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
