Recovery of moral damages from the hospital

Treatment in a medical institution does not always go smoothly. Sometimes the actions or inaction of medical workers lead to not only physical suffering, but also moral suffering. In such cases, the victims have the right to recover moral damages from the hospital.

What exactly is moral damage?

Moral damage is the suffering that a person experiences as a result of harmful actions. These can be:

• Mental experiences
• Decreasing quality of life
• Deterioration of the psycho-emotional state
• Uncertainty about the future
• Other negative consequences

In what cases can a lawsuit be filed to recover moral damages from the hospital?

There are several grounds for filing a claim for moral damages against a hospital, including:

1. Negligence of medical professionals: wrong diagnoses, poor-quality treatment, incorrect prescription of drugs, failure to provide assistance, etc.
2. Unprofessionalism of medical workers: rude treatment of the patient, disclosure of confidential information, disregard of ethical norms, etc.
3. Improper conditions of stay in the hospital: unsanitary conditions, lack of necessary drugs and equipment, improper nutrition, etc.
4. Other actions or inaction of medical professionals, which led to moral suffering of the patient.

Importantly! In order to successfully recover moral damages from the hospital, it is necessary not only to prove the fact of the damage, but also the cause-and-effect relationship between the actions of medical professionals and the moral suffering of the patient.

Why is it important to collect moral damages if rights have been violated?

Collecting moral damages from the hospital is not only a way to get compensation for the suffering experienced. It is also:

1. Important precedent: Your case may help prevent similar violations of other patients’ rights in the future.
2. A signal for medical institutions: recovery of moral damages forces medical institutions to be more responsible in their duties and provide quality medical care.
3. Restoring justice: recovering moral damages is an opportunity to restore justice and protect your rights.
