Institut izgubljene šanse – gubitak šanse za ozdravljenje ili za preživljavanje

Abstract

In order to facilitate the procedural-legal position of an injured patient in medical malpractice lawsuits, courts in various countries allow certain deviations from general rules for burden of proof and grant patients specific evidentiary reliefs. One way to strengthen the patient’s position in lawsuits against doctors is the application of the theory of loss of chance. In this paper, the authors will analyse the application of loss of chance theory in the US and European case law. They will demonstrate that the theory has been increasingly accepted since it first appeared, though many countries still refuse to apply it. The authors conclude that one of the goals of the theory of loss of chance is its preventative effect on healthcare professionals, as it further encourages them to exercise maximum care and caution in their treatment of patients, thereby restoring trust in the doctor-patient relationship.Da bi se olakšao procesnopravni položaj oštećenog pacijenta u sporovima zbog lekarske greške, sudovi različitih zemalja dopuštaju određena odstupanja od opštih pravila o dokazivanju i priznaju pacijentima određene dokazne olakšice. Jedan od načina jačanja položaja pacijenta u parnicama protiv lekara jeste primena instituta izgubljene šanse. Autori će u ovom radu analizirati primenu instituta izgubljene šanse u američkoj i evropskoj sudskoj praksi. Pokazaće da od trenutka kada se prvi put pojavio, institut izgubljene šanse sve više nailazi na razumevanje, ali da i dalje veliki broj država odbija njegovu primenu. Autori zaključuju da je jedan od ciljeva naknade izgubljene šanse njeno preventivno delovanje na pripadnike zdravstvene struke zato što ih dodatno podstiče na maksimalnu pažnju i oprez u njihovom postupanju sa pacijentima, vraćajući tako poverenje u odnos lekar–pacijent
