Veterinarians

Although some courts have found that the concept of medical malpractice does not apply to veterinarians, many have concluded that the concepts of professional negligence apply based on the conduct of a veterinarian in the performance of his/her professional services. The practice of veterinary medicine, like the practices of medicine and law, require specialized education, knowledge, and skills, and veterinarians have a duty to use their skills in the same manner that would be ordinarily expected of other careful, skillful veterinarians either in the locality or in the more extended community.
