Amendments to the Patients’ Rights and Patients’ Spokesman Rights Act. A few remarks on the mechanisms of awarding compensation for damage or injury caused by medical occurrences
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present the amendments to the Patients’ rights and
Patients’ Rights Spokesman Act of 28 April 2011. The paper focuses on the drawbacks of
the provisions of the Act concerning claims for compensation for damage or injury caused
by medical occurrences that are put before regional medical occurrences committees.
Despite the undoubtedly right direction of the amended legislation, the purpose of the
amendments has not been achieved. The renouncement by applicants of all the claims
when accepting the insurers offer concerning the amount of compensation, low sums of
the compensation which the patient or his heir may be awarded as well as restricting the
places where medical occurrences may happen only to hospitals, narrow the applicability
of the amendments and warrants further work on the existing solution.
