MEDICAL LIABILITY

The importance and sensitivity of the medical health professional liability sector has led the lawyers of the Lucia Capo & Partners law firm to broaden their skills and to deal in detail with the relevant discipline in order to guarantee victims of “medical malpractice” and their family members the right compensation for the damage suffered as a result of diagnostic or executive medical errors, omissions of medical treatment, or inefficiencies of the hospital structure.
Our professionals have dedicated themselves in detail both to the field of “medical liability” referring to those situations in which the damage caused is due to the fault of the medical staff or health care in general, and to “health care liability” for the torts attributable to the structure as a whole.
Careful attention to the Gelli Bianco law has resulted in greater competence in the matter, which allows for the discernment of those cases in which the health responsibility includes the medical one, as required by the law itself, which attributes to the Structure the responsibility for the behaviour of the personnel operating within it, from the cases in which the Structure’s responsibility is instead linked to internal organisational problems and defects.
The Firm’s experience is wide and complex and includes all fields and, in particular, situations of deficiency or defect in the organisation of healthcare facilities, the issue of informed consent or damage from death due to medicalmalpractice, up to macro-permanent injuries and loss of survival and healing opportunities.
