Healthcare providers are held to a higher standard of care and competence than a lay person. Understanding the differences between a civil lawsuit and a criminal lawsuit is critical in understanding what the law considers negligence vs. professional negligence violating a legislative law. Why does our system allow for two different types of lawsuits against one person for a similar action/outcome? Is this fair? Does our current legal system make a medical expert hesitant to help in situations outside of a medical facility, or while “off-duty?”
