According to "Legal-Medical-Ethical Issues" (2003), “A physician is civilly liable for his actions; the law is that tort negligence by the physicians may be punishable by dollar damages. Also, the physician may be criminally liable. Physicians owe a special allegiance to their patients. The usual basis of a professional liability claim is negligence; the physician has a legal duty; when the actions of such physician did not fulfill such duty harm may reset. Negligence is established by showing that without the physician’s actions, or inactions, the result would not have occurred. Physicians are not held strictly accountable but only that they practice medicine prudently” (para. 3).
