Medical Attorney and Lawyer Kyiv

We have developed three cooperation options especially for you. Depending on your preferences and available free time, choose the package that suits you.

A medical disputes lawyer is a profession that is rapidly gaining popularity. The assistance of a medical lawyer is increasingly needed by both patients of medical institutions and doctors. This is due in particular to the fact that:

• Ukrainians, taking example from the West, increasingly try to defend their rights and recover damages caused;
• our legislation in the field of medical services has many omissions and does not regulate this area of relations clearly enough. This sometimes leads to certain abuses against relatively unprotected patients;
• there are not so many specialists in Ukraine who can provide quality defense services in the field of medical law. Therefore, society is not yet accustomed to the fact that violations of medical law can lead to serious litigation;
• medical insurance is becoming increasingly popular and in demand. Accordingly, failure to meet its terms leads to lawful claims against the responsible party.

The quality of medical services is a set of indicators characterizing the timeliness of care, the correctness of diagnosis, the choice of diagnostic, treatment and prevention methods, as well as the presence of a positive treatment outcome overall. Often a medical attorney is still necessary for patients, since clients of medical institutions are in a somewhat unequal position compared to medical staff. This is due to illness, dependence on the personal attitude of medical personnel, and lack of necessary knowledge in the field of medicine. It is difficult for a patient to immediately assess the quality of medical care, and sometimes to detect a medical error.

Legal assistance for doctors

For fairness, it should be noted that legal assistance to doctors is also necessary. In Ukraine they still continue to treat the person rather than act strictly according to a disease treatment protocol. This is not always bad. For example, in some hospitalization cases, operative surgical intervention is indicated, although an experienced specialist may perform more sparing minimally invasive procedures and successfully help the patient, thus avoiding subjecting them to a major operation and its aftermath. In this case the doctor cares for the patient, shortens the recovery period, minimizes the possibility of complications, but acts “at his own risk”, and increases the possibility of negative consequences for himself, in the form of lawsuits. In addition, there are patients who are always dissatisfied with medical care and try to seek moral damages wherever they are treated. In Ukraine there was a case when a plastic surgery patient sued more than 20 medical institutions seeking moral damages. Therefore doctors, professionals at their work, may perform their work excellently, but this does not always exclude for them the possibility of receiving a court summons from a client dissatisfied with his condition. In this case our medical lawyer in Kyiv can protect you from unjust claims by a patient, problems with your professional employment activities and restore your reputation as a specialist. After all, claims of a dissatisfied patient can not only lead to material losses associated with compensation, but also entail criminal liability.
