Abstract

A healthcare worker's liability for damage caused to patients can be criminal, civil, misdemeanour, and disciplinary, with the necessary precondition that the damage was caused as a result of medical malpractice or negligence, and not as a result of the regular course of the disease. The paper analyzes the criminal law and civil law aspects of the healthcare worker's responsibility for damage caused by medical malpractice through the provision of medical care. The imprecise definition of the legal nature of the healthcare worker's responsibility, the obligations that the law imposes on doctors, the definition of malpractice in medical treatment, as well as the legal basis of responsibility, indicate the existence of many legal dilemmas that require additional analysis to which we would like to contribute with this paper. Because of a broad concept of issues in healthcare worker's liability, this paper aims to explain the material assumptions of criminal (duty to act) and civil (negligence) liability and discusses the legal position of a medical expert in both types of proceedings.
克罗地亚医疗工作者医疗事故的刑事和民事责任
医护人员对患者造成的损害应承担的责任有刑事责任、民事责任、轻罪责任和纪律处分责任,其必要前提是损害是因医疗失当或过失造成的,而不是疾病正常过程的结果。本文从刑法和民法两方面分析了医护人员在提供医疗服务过程中因医疗事故造成损害所应承担的责任。对医护人员责任的法律性质、法律赋予医生的义务、医疗事故的定义以及责任的法律依据的不精确界定,表明存在许多需要进一步分析的法律难题,我们希望通过本文对此做出贡献。由于医护人员责任问题的概念广泛,本文旨在解释刑事(行为责任)和民事(过失)责任的重要假设,并讨论医学专家在这两类诉讼中的法律立场。
