Physician Liability: Claim your damages

Questioner

A doctor in a hospital indicates that a three-monthly check-up should take place, but the checks are not carried out. Can I hold the doctor liable for this and if so, is there a possibility of filing a claim for damages?

Lawyer

A hospital must adhere to existing protocols; if these are violated, liability may be incurred.

Lawyer

Doctors must adhere to protocols that have been drawn up. Why are the checks not carried out on you? Does the doctor have a specific one for that? I do not know your case further, but if you have suffered damage because the protocols are not adhered to, you can hold the doctor liable and try to recover your damage. You could also start by filing a complaint.
