The standard of care is usually established by what other professionals would do under similar circumstances. If a doctor performs surgery in the wrong leg, this may be considered to be a breach of duty since other surgeons take the correct chart under similar circumstances.

It is also important to note that the standard of care cannot be so high that it will impose unlimited liability on all parties. In jury trials, as well as in bench trials the balance is assessed by juries and judges.
