Abstract

In Romania, the medicolegal (forensic) expertise report is created in any case of medical malpractice, at the request of the police, the prosecutor’s office, or the court of law. These reports are created for both deceased and alive patients when they or their relatives file a complaint. These forensic medical reports may or may not be taken into consideration by the court of law in the process of each particular trial. In the following chapter, we shall present two cases in which the physicians were accused of malpractice under the Romanian jurisdiction, one in which the court did not take the forensic report into consideration and another case in which, based on the report, the physician was deemed innocent.
