Abstract

This study deals with the subject of civil liability for medical errors, as the safety of the human body is considered one of the most important rights called for by divine laws and followed by positive laws. The civil liability of the doctor is determined if he fails to fulfill a duty or a regulatory or professional obligation, whether intentionally or by mistake. The study aims to clarify the concept of medical error and its types, and to determine the obligations that fall on the doctor to preserve the patient, in addition to knowing the effects resulting from civil liability for medical errors and determining the civil liability lawsuit in terms of compensation.
