October 30, 2026 — Can a patient harmed due to a doctor's error receive compensation?
Attorney Aylin Esra Eren
Is every adverse treatment result malpractice?
No. In medicine, not every complication or adverse result directly means physician error. Behavior contrary to medical standards, damage, and an appropriate causal link must be examined.
Which compensations can the patient claim?
In the specific case, material damage, treatment expenses, loss of working capacity, and, if conditions exist, moral damages can be claimed. The competent court of the lawsuit is determined according to whether the health institution is public or private.
For general informational purposes. The documents, application routes, and deadlines of the specific case must be evaluated separately.
