Surgical complications can occur without medical error. This study suggests exploring mutual insurance for compensating medicosurgical accidents where fault is unproven, adapting to European regulations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Law
  • Surgical Risk Management
  • Healthcare Policy

Context:

  • Surgical procedures inherently carry risks, and complications do not always stem from negligence.
  • Existing frameworks for compensating medical damages may not adequately address cases without demonstrable fault.
  • The advent of the single European act necessitates a review of cross-border medical liability and compensation.

Purpose:

  • To propose a new framework for compensating damages arising from medicosurgical accidents.
  • To explore the feasibility of mutual insurance models for managing surgical risks.
  • To adapt compensation strategies for situations where professional fault cannot be established.

Summary:

  • This study examines the inherent risks in surgical interventions, emphasizing that complications are not always indicative of error.

  • It advocates for a re-evaluation of damage compensation, particularly for medicosurgical accidents where fault is difficult to prove.
  • The implementation of publicly or privately sponsored mutual insurance is proposed as a viable solution, aligning with the principles of the single European act.

    • Impact:

    • This research aims to foster a more equitable system for compensating patients affected by unavoidable surgical complications.
    • It encourages a shift in perspective towards risk-sharing and collective responsibility in healthcare.
    • The findings could influence future legislation and insurance policies concerning medical malpractice and patient safety.
