试论无过错责任归责原则在医疗侵权纠纷中的适用

医疗侵权纠纷不仅包括医疗事故及医疗差错等医疗过失行为给患者造成的伤害,也包括因医疗意外所产生的不良后果。侵权责任的归责原则作为侵权责任认定和赔偿的重要依据,是侵权行为法理论的核心,因此,对医疗纠纷适用何种归责原则,对于医患双方利益平衡,解决社会矛盾具有深刻意义。由于医疗服务的专业性及特殊性,医疗纠纷归责原则的选择和确立不仅仅是一个法律上的问题,同时也是社会问题,因此,在医疗纠纷当中的侵权责任认定应当做到严格、准确、灵活地适用无过错责任归责原则。

The Application of the Doctrine of No-fault Liability in Medical Disputes

Medical disputes involve the harms patients have suffered in medical malpractice, such as medical incidents or errors, and other bad consequences caused. As an important basis for determining tortuous liability and compensation, doctrine of liability fixation is the core of tort law theory, so applying appropriate doctrine of liability fixation to medical disputes will be profoundly significant to balance the interest of doctors and patients, as well as resolve social conflicts. Due to the specialty and particularity of medical service, selecting and establishing the doctrine of liability fixation for medical disputes is not just a legal issue, but also a social one. Therefore, the doctrine of no-fault liability should be applied strictly, accurately, flexibly to determine the tortuous liability in medical disputes.
