Medical malpractice: the rights of the injured patient
Here we briefly explain what medical malpractice is, what compensation you can obtain, and how we can help you assert your rights.
Medical malpractice means the harm caused to a patient through a medical error or medical negligence, whether in making the diagnosis or in carrying out the treatment or procedure. The absence of valid informed consent may also amount to a violation of the patient’s rights.
To obtain malpractice compensation, it is essential to prove the link between the medical treatment and the harm, which usually requires a forensic medical expert report. Liability may rest with both the doctor and the healthcare provider, and the matter can also be reported to the Medical Association.
Compensation can cover both financial losses and non-pecuniary damages - physical and emotional suffering. As a medical malpractice attorney in Timișoara, our office assists you at every stage, from obtaining medical records and expert reports to arguing your claim before the court.
