Proof of medical error requiring civil liability

Abstract EN

Proving medical error is not easy for the patient to get compensation, the burden of proof is distributed between the patient and the doctor, yet it is required to be distinct and stable, regardless of whether it is normal or technical, serious or easy, but the criteria for its discrimination are defined by the personal standard and the objective criterion and after their criticism the mixed standard related to the unusual act appeared.

As for the burden of proof, it is distributed between the patient and the doctor according to the nature of the latter's commitment, and it is proven either by the medical file and medical certificates that have the authenticity of the customary papers, or by medical expertise that is not binding on the judge.
