According to the author of Tort Law in the USA, Beau Baez III, care providers owe a duty of care to their clients, and are required to conform to a particular standard of care. For example, medical practitioners have a responsibility to provide care to their patients, and this action is upheld to a certain standard. This standard can be established in three ways, namely:
1. The default rule is that the person has a duty to act in a reasonably judicious manner;
2. The gauge can be created by a civil tort statute; and
3. The benchmark can originate from a criminal negligence per se canon.
