The number of people dissatisfied with the rendered medical services is growing every day. If earlier such conflicts were mostly resolved independently within the medical institution, today there is a tendency to postpone their consideration from a legal point of view by third organizations. Medical law, as a system of norms governing relations developing in this field, has long taken a strong position among other branches of jurisprudence.
The right to judicial protection at the legislative level is guaranteed to every citizen. In this case, the reasons for the displeasure of patients can be very different:
- errors in the diagnosis of the disease;
- damage to the health of the person during his treatment;
- the occurrence of complications after poor treatment, etc.
As a rule, such claims are very weighty, because we are talking about human health, and sometimes even about the life of the patient. An effective mechanism for influencing a doctor is his liability insurance. However, in our country, this practice is not yet very common. Appeals to government agencies to combat the negligence and lack of professionalism of doctors do not always bring the desired results. A medical lawyer will come to the rescue in such situations.
