Medical law and liability
Medical lawyer in Marrakech
Diagnostic error, surgical fault, hospital-acquired infection, lack of information: the firm supports victims of medical bodily harm in their compensation and defends practitioners against accusations in Marrakech.
Medical liability based on fault
Moroccan law enshrines the practitioner's civil and criminal liability for fault. The Penal Code punishes involuntary injuries (Articles 432 and 433) and unauthorized medical practice. The DOC founds the doctor's contractual liability towards the patient. Law 131-13 on the practice of medicine frames professional obligations, and ethics codes complete the framework.
The doctor is bound by an obligation of means (medical art) and a strengthened obligation of information. Proof of fault rests on the patient but can be facilitated by medical expertise, analysis of the medical file and testimonies.
