Assistance from a Changwon Attorney | A Changwon Attorney Who Proved a Medical Accident and Claimed Damages

The client's son underwent surgery in the urology department for a condition known as varicocele.

However, damage to the aorta occurred during the surgery, and as a result the son additionally underwent primary aortic repair surgery.

In this process, an incision of about 20 cm was made running up the lower abdomen, and the son was left with a large scar on the abdomen.

The hospital, however, sought to provide only treatment and to move on without any compensation for the harm.

The client therefore wished to establish the medical staff's liability and claim damages, and in this process requested legal assistance from a Changwon medical attorney with extensive legal and medical knowledge.

If a patient suffers harm due to a medical practitioner's nonperformance of duty or unlawful act, the patient may claim compensation for the loss sustained.

If a medical practitioner has received medical fees and the like from a patient yet failed to faithfully perform the contract to provide medical care, or if the practitioner failed to exercise the care that should have been taken during the medical treatment, compensation should be sought through litigation.

To claim damages under the Civil Act on the ground of nonperformance of duty or an unlawful act, it must be proven that the doctor, through intent or negligence, breached a duty of care and caused bodily or other harm to the patient.

In this regard, the entire burden of proof rests on the patient.

Therefore, 🔗medical accident damages if you wish to pursue litigation, you must yourself establish the causal connection between the medical practitioner's unlawful act and nonperformance of duty and the harm that occurred.

However, it is not easy for an ordinary person without medical and legal knowledge to establish this perfectly on their own.

Therefore, seeking the assistance of an attorney with sufficient medical and relevant legal knowledge in filing a claim for damages can be helpful.

Before the surgery in this case, the client received only a brief explanation when signing the consent form, and gave consent without receiving any explanation about the possibility of aortic damage during the surgery, the conversion to open surgery, or the possibility of scarring.
