Medical law
Legal assistance and advice to litigants in medical matters, i.e. patients and their family members, medical personnel (doctors, nurses and paramedics) and healthcare providers. This specialization concerns civil, criminal and disciplinary proceedings at all stages and before all courts and authorities:
– disputes for redress arising from violations of patient rights (e.g. the right to health services, the right to confidentiality of information, the right to consent to health services, etc.);
– disputes concerning the civil liability of the medical personnel or the medical entity for material damage to the patient (including bodily injury or health disorder, losses resulting from the total or partial loss of earning capacity, increased needs of the injured party, treatment costs etc. as a result of exceeding the patient’s consent, performing an obviously unnecessary procedure, medical malpractice and many others);
– disputes concerning the civil liability of medical personnel or the medical entity for non-pecuniary damage to the patient (e.g. physical and moral suffering);
– representation of parties in criminal proceedings brought against medical personnel in connection with their work (e.g. offences of endangering life, failure to provide assistance, etc.);
– representing parties in disciplinary proceedings;
– counselling to healthcare providers to minimize the risk of an event that may give rise to liability for damages (so-called organisational fault and anonymous fault).
For the purposes of its cases, the Firm will cooperate with experts, tax advisers and other specialists who will be able to support the interests of the represented party in the course of the dispute.
