Compensation of €170,000 Granted to Patient Due to Medical Negligence
March 17, 2025
The Supreme Court upheld a decision to grant €170,000 compensation to a woman due to medical negligence by a neurosurgeon. The patient faced severe health issues after a surgical procedure in 2007, as the doctor failed to provide proper postoperative care. The surgeon's appeal was dismissed, as he did not inform the patient of the risks associated with the surgery. The ruling emphasizes the importance of informing patients about potential risks before medical procedures.
