Civil court dismissed hospital liability claim for suicide attempt injury due to lack of evidence of damage and causation.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe plaintiff sued the hospital for damages resulting from a suicide attempt while under its care, seeking compensation for alleged neck injuries. The court found that the plaintiff failed to prove she suffered actual physical damage or established a causal link between the hospital's alleged negligence and her condition. Consequently, the claim was dismissed because the burden of proof regarding the existence of harm and its origin remained unmet.
