The paper analyzes the criminal law and civil law aspects of the healthcare worker's responsibility for damage caused by medical malpractice through the provision of medical care. The imprecise definition of the legal nature of the healthcare worker's responsibility, the obligations that the law imposes on doctors, the definition of malpractice in medical treatment, as well as the legal basis of responsibility, indicate the existence of many legal dilemmas that require additional analysis to which we would like to contribute with this paper. Because of a broad concept of issues in healthcare worker's liability, this paper aims to explain the material assumptions of criminal (duty to act) and civil (negligence) liability and discusses the legal position of a medical expert in both types of proceedingsOdgovornost zdravstvenega delavca za škodo, povzročeno pacientom, se lahko nanaša na kazensko, civilno, prekrškovno in disciplinsko odgovornost, pri čemer je nujni pogoj, da je škoda povzročena kot posledica medicinske napake ali malomarnosti, ne pa kot posledica običajnega poteka bolezni. Članek analizira kazenskopravne in civilnopravne vidike odgovornosti zdravstvenih delavcev za škodo, ki je posledica medicinske napake pri zagotavljanju zdravstvene oskrbe. Nepopolna definicija pravne narave odgovornosti zdravstvenega delavca, obveznosti, ki jih zakon nalaga zdravnikom, opredelitev malomarnosti pri zdravljenju, pa tudi pravna podlaga odgovornosti, kažejo na obstoj mnogih pravnih dilem, ki zahtevajo dodatno analizo, k čemur želimo prispevati s tem člankom. Zaradi širokega spektra vprašanj v zvezi z odgovornostjo zdravstvenih delavcev ta članek pojasnjuje materialne pogoje za kazensko (dolžnost ravnanja) in civilno (malomarnostno) odgovornost ter razpravlja o pravni vlogi medicinskega strokovnjaka v obeh vrstah postopkovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta
