Overview
Liability for damage caused to patient when providing him with health care in health care facilities is becoming very actual legal problem. Patients and their relatives are suing health care facilities for financial compensations in rapidly increasing numbers – as for number of cases, as for indemnities demanded. Health care facilities in due time learn how to cope with the problem, but quite often they still commit unnecessary mistakes: by underestimating how serious might be the case, by presenting insufficient evidence at the court or by concluding disadvantageous or underrated liability insurance contracts with insurance companies.
Key words:
health care – responsibility – liability insurance – damage to health – tort litigation – proofs – experts’ opinion
