Cataract surgery is a common medical procedure that normally results in improved vision. However, a patient can also have severe complications during surgery that can result in impaired vision and even blindness. Many times a poor outcome is caused by medical malpractice in managing the complications that occur during surgery.
In order to stay competitive and retain the best workforce, most companies offer their employees benefits that go above and beyond those required by law. These additional benefits often include retirement, health, and life insurance plans. While offering employee benefit plans can be rewarding for employers, it can also be among the most challenging activities an employer can undertake. Managing benefit plans is a great responsibility that falls to those with fiduciary duty.
All health care providers must meet certain standards of care every time they treat patients. They are the “patient safety rules” doctors must follow. Meeting the standard of care means that the doctor or other medical provider is acting with the amount of skill and care that doctors expect from each other. When the standard of care has not been met and harm has resulted, the provider can be sued for medical malpractice.
