EVALUATION OF PROFESSIONAL VIOLATIONS OF DOCTORS IN A NON-STATE EXPERT ORGANIZATION FOR CIVIL AND CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS

The problems of forensic medical examinations in cases of inadequate medical care are inextricably linked with the experience and qualifications of members of expert commissions. Moreover, the result of such examinations is largely due to the temporary capabilities, status of the expert and other aspects of the expert’s professional activity. Analysis regarding the implementation of examinations in medical matters shows the presence of objective difficulties in their implementation. Our study showed the possibility of evaluating the actions of a doctor in conducting a forensic examination in a non-governmental expert institution, which are important for understanding the fact of legal liability of a doctor or medical institution, especially in establishing causal relationships between a lack of medical care and an adverse outcome. There are sufficient arguments to consider forensic expert activity in a non-governmental expert institution as an important tool in the hands of forensic authorities to resolve issues related to the legal assessment of a doctor’s actions, which can receive evidence with full, comprehensive, scientifically substantiated and reliable formulation of judgments necessary for court proceedings.
