Malpractice Processin Turkey
As LegalMed Turkey, our aim is to understand the negative experiences of patients coming to Turkey from abroad for treatment or plastic surgery and to provide them with professional support in this process. While Turkey has an important place in the field of health tourism, unfortunately, some patients may have negative surgical or operation experiences. This is where our team of specialized lawyers comes into play.
Legal Support and Experience:
The lawyers in our team have extensive experience in healthcare law. In particular, we guide and effectively manage legal proceedings regarding out-of-court and in-court claims for compensation against Turkish healthcare institutions and physicians by patients coming to Turkey from abroad. Patients who utilize our services can pursue their rights more confidently with the experience we have gained from the many cases we have won.
Compensation that can be claimed:
While the healthcare system in Turkey provides services in line with international standards, initiating legal proceedings is a critical step if a patient experiences problems. LegalMed Turkey aims to defend the rights of victims of medical negligence.
What kind of compensation can patients claim as a result of these adverse events?
– Reimbursement of the fee paid for the negligent medical intervention that was carried out,
– The cost of the remedial operation or treatment performed or planned to be performed in order to correct the negligent medical intervention (the claim will be in the currency in which country this treatment or operation will be performed,
– If the patient is temporarily unable to work due to an erroneous medical intervention, the loss of income for this period,
– Loss of income if the patient has become permanently disabled due to malpractice, or if there has been a loss of earning capacity,
– Reimbursement of extra expenses incurred for the medical intervention in Turkey (accommodation, transportation, medication costs, etc.),
– Non-pecuniary damages to be determined by the judge for the pain, suffering and psychological damage suffered by the patient due to the negligent medical intervention.
In which currency can compensation be claimed?
Compensation can be claimed in the currency of the country in which the patient lives. In this way, patients’ compensation claims will not be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
For example, a person coming from Germany to Turkey for plastic surgery will be able to request all of the above-mentioned compensation in Euros.
