Abstract:
In Finland, the "Patient Injury Act" came into force on 1 May 1987. The legislation covers all patients given medical treatment in Finland. Injuries defined by the law fall into four categories: actual treatment injury, infection injury, accidental injury and diagnostic injury. The claim can be entered without any evidence of fault or causation.
