Abstract

The central research question is the issue of violation of professional rules of medical treatment by physicians in the context of civil liability for medical malpractice in diagnosis. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, the theoretical and practical elements of the violation of medical treatment of physicians within the diagnostic procedure, which constitute the mandatory relationship of liability for damage, were analyzed. An important segment of the research is a representative compilation of Croatian case law of the past 25 years, as well as relevant practice ad comparandum. In conclusion, it was found that, from the aspect of court practice, civil liability regularly exists when it comes to the so-called fundamental errors in diagnosis, which are most often reduced to incorrectly performed procedures, the results of which were used as a factual basis for making the diagnosis.
