Understanding Medical Negligence in Poland
Medical negligence, or błąd medyczny in Polish, occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care expected in their field, resulting in harm to the patient. Under Polish law, medical negligence cases are governed by the Civil Code (Kodeks Cywilny) and the Act on Patient Rights and the Patient Ombudsman (Ustawa o prawach pacjenta i Rzeczniku Praw Pacjenta).
Key elements of medical negligence in Poland include:
Breach of Duty: The healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care.
Causation: The breach directly caused harm or injury to the patient.
Damages: The patient suffered physical, emotional, or financial losses as a result.
