Legal proceedings for alleged treatment errors in Germany have doubled. Poor patient information and insufficient medical examination are primary drivers, often linked to time constraints in consultations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Law
  • Legal Medicine
  • Healthcare Liability

Context:

  • Legal proceedings concerning alleged treatment mistakes in German general medicine have more than doubled in the past five years.
  • A survey of medical law specialists within the Deutsche Anwaltsverein (DAV) investigated the reasons behind these liability cases.

Purpose:

  • To identify the primary causes of legal proceedings related to treatment mistakes in general medicine.
  • To understand the frequency of specific disease groups and treatment errors cited in these legal cases.

Summary:

  • 69.9% of surveyed lawyers identify poor patient information as the leading cause of liability proceedings.
  • Diseases of the digestive, circulatory, and musculoskeletal systems were most frequently involved.
  • Injections were the most common treatment mistake cited, accounting for 40 mentions.

Impact:

  • Findings suggest that current consultation time standards may be insufficient for adequate patient information and shared decision-making.
  • The study highlights a potential disconnect between legal expectations and practical healthcare delivery constraints.
  • Results may inform policy discussions on improving patient communication and potentially reducing medical liability cases.
