Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the results of the forensic medical examinations on «medical cases» in terms of establishing cause-and-effect relationships. The main groups of problems of establishing cause-and-effect relationships are highlighted, namely: who should establish it; whether it is worth establishing the presence or absence of a direct connection or it is possible to judge about indirect and other causal relationships, whether it is possible to establish a direct causal relationship of inaction with the outcome. Possible ways of solving the indicated problems are shown.
