Der Arzthaftungsprozess

As a comprehensive presentation of medical liability law, this handbook offers extensive benefits for case handling and further education. The medical legal liability case is clearly laid out in all its complexity, structured, and exhaustively presented in its legal and procedural management within the interplay of medicine, liability law, evidence law, and damage law (basis and amount).

The aim of the work is to guide readers step by step through the liability case: from the first contact between doctor and patient, through the assertion of a claim, to the final judgment or the allocation of damages in the context of recourse liability. Numerous practical examples, extensive overviews of relevant case law, practical aids, and graphics support the extraordinary presentation style of the book, with the overarching goal of enabling effective handling of liability cases. Therefore, sample pleadings and forms are included, as well as checklists and tips for an efficient legal strategy while considering the different interests.
