Abstract
The research of the manifestations of harmful actions of physicians (medical malpractice) starts from the basic obligation of physicians to apply a generally accepted medical standard when providing health care, as well as a standard of due care that is adequate to the medical profession. The paper investigates the legally relevant modalities of violation of the medical standard and presents a fundamental classification of diagnostic, therapeutic and atypical medical errors with emphasis on the manifestations of therapeutic errors in medical and legal practice in Croatia and ad comparandum. In this sense, an important area of research is the collected representative compilation of domestic and foreign practice in the period within 25 years. The concluding remarks complete the general typology of legally relevant
harmful actions that violate the medical treatment of physicians, in accordance with the norms of positive law and the accepted views of court practice.
