A professional health care provider is liable for medical malpractice if he does not follow the reasonable standard of care for a person in a similar situation. His standard of care is based on others in similar professional roles. An emergency room doctor is held to a different standard than a dermatologist, and both are held to a different standard than someone who is not a doctor. Determining liability for medical malpractice can be a difficult and time-consuming process involving expert testimony and fact specific investigations.
