Download or read book Medical Accident Liability and Redress in English and French Law written by Simon Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002 France introduced an out-of-court settlement scheme for medical accidents. The scheme guarantees compensation for the victims of the most serious medical accidents irrespective of fault and operates in parallel with existing liability rules. In this book Simon Taylor compares English and French law on medical accident liability and redress and considers what lessons the French model can provide for potential reform in England and elsewhere. Taylor emphasizes the effect of the English and French rules on access to compensation and on the cost of liability and examines the problems that have been posed by the introduction of an administrative redress scheme in France. This book looks at the potential consequences of English and French rules for the doctor-patient relationship and for patient safety, and considers the role that national legal traditions and cultures of civil liability in England and France play in shaping national law in this area.

Download or read book Uncertain Causation in Medical Liability written by Lara Khoury and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Proving' the cause of the plaintiff's injury in personal injury litigation often entails significant challenges, particularly when science cannot identify the cause of a biological phenomenon or when the nature of this cause is debatable. This problem is frequently encountered in medical malpractice cases, where the limitations of scientific knowledge are still extensive. Yet judges must decide cases, however uncertain the evidence with regard to proof of causation. Reluctant to leave patients without compensation, courts have in some cases challenged their traditional approach to causation through recourse to such techniques as reliance on factual presumptions and inferences, the concept of loss of chance, and reversal of the burden of proof. This book analyses and criticises the use of these various techniques by the courts of England, Australia, Canada, France, and the civilian Canadian province of Quebec in confronting evidentiary causal difficulties caused by the uncertainties of medical science.

Download or read book Risques et assurances de responsabilit civile written by Nadia Hadj-Chaib Candeille and published by L'Argus de l'Assurance Editions. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toute personne physique ou morale, particulier ou entreprise, est confrontée au risque de voir sa responsabilité civile recherchée à la suite du dommage subi par une personne qui entend obtenir la réparation de son préjudice. Si le principe de réparation ne pose pas de difficulté en soi, en revanche, la mise en oeuvre de la responsabilité civile, préalable nécessaire à la réparation du dommage, peut s’avérer complexe et dépend des règles de droit évolutives dans le temps sous l’effet des lois nouvelles et de la jurisprudence. Dans ce schéma, l’assurance joue un rôle de premier plan : elle permet de se prémunir de la charge financière découlant de la responsabilité civile qui peut incomber à chacun. Le fonctionnement du contrat d’assurance de responsabilité civile peut cependant s’avérer complexe, tout comme les notions de déclaration du risque, sinistre, conditions de garantie, exclusions de risque ou déchéances de garantie, qui sont autant de mécanismes qui peuvent influer sur l’indemnité d’assurance finalement allouée. Cet ouvrage permet de comprendre les enjeux de cette branche d’assurance en étudiant : – le droit de la responsabilité civile (1e partie) ; – les règles communes aux assurances de responsabilité civile (2e partie) ; – certaines formules d’assurance de responsabilité civile telles que l’assurance du particulier, des entreprises, du médecin, des exploitants agricoles, des risques d’atteinte à l’environnement... (3e partie). Les développements intègrent les textes réglementaires nécessaires à la compréhension de la matière, la jurisprudence la plus récente et des exemples pratiques.

Download or read book Space Insurance International Legal Aspects written by Katarzyna Malinowska and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insurance related to outer space activities has been around since the 1960s, but has become vastly more significant with the increased commercial use of satellites. This book focuses on the legal aspects of space insurance in the contractual context, analysing space risk as well as the insurance terms used on the market. It offers the first in-depth coverage, both practical and theoretical, of space insurance from an international law perspective. Attending throughout to the important and problematic distinction between the space segment (upstream) and ground segment (downstream) in space law, this book deals comprehensively with such issues and topics as the following: - the main hazards relating to space activities; - the impact of new space technologies on the level of risk and insurance; - the differing types of risks attributable to various entities in the context of insurable interest; - aspects of the space risk allocation regimes and risk assessment; - the impact of the five ‘space treaties’ – the Outer Space Treaty, the Liability Convention, the Rescue Agreement, the Registration Convention and the Moon Agreement – on the subject and scope of insurance coverage; - the advent of suborbital flight, commercial human space flight and space tourism in the context of emerging insurance risks; - the problem of space debris; - contractual aspects of space activities affecting the space insurance risks; - basic notions such as ‘outer space’, ‘space object’ in the context of space activities and related insurance coverage; - basic insurance principles and their operation in the space insurance; and - the adjustment of losses and the settlement of disputes in space insurance. The author emphasises the need to understand the various insurance risks facing particular types of commercial space activities, including pre-launch, launch, transportation, spaceflight, satellite communications, satellite navigation, satellite remote sensing and space station operation. Satellites are increasingly a vital part of many daily activities of contemporary society and the Earth’s orbit is becoming ever more crowded, heightening the risks of collision, damage and claims. This thoroughly researched book will therefore be extremely useful to lawyers, policymakers and academics tasked with defining the scope of insurance coverage that accurately mirrors technological, contractual and legal reality. Its practical aspect will be of extraordinary value to insurance lawyers, underwriters and brokers.
