Legal Recourse for Medical Negligence & Surgical Errors
Turkey’s medical tourism sector attracts international patients annually. When medical errors occur, patients have established rights to legal compensation.
1. Elements of Medical Negligence
Establishing physician or hospital liability requires proving a breach of professional duty of care, fault (complications vs. negligence), and direct causation of injury.
2. Recoverable Damages
Victims can claim full reimbursement for corrective medical care, disability compensation, loss of earnings, and substantial moral damages (Manevi Tazminat).
