The crisis of health liability insurance, or the need for a new remedial model
Articolo in Responsabilità medica – Diritto e Pratica Clinica: “La crisi dell’assicurazione per la responsabilità sanitaria, ovvero la necessità di un nuovo modello riparatorio” – Vol. 2 – Pacini Editore – 2018
Strict liability and any “no fault” liability system are proving useless in regulating damages caused running a firm or in any dangerous activity, permitted as socially useful. Especially in the health system a “no blame” culture should take the place of “no fault” systems in order to grant serenity on the job and the right cooperation in loss prevention. Liability insurance itself is proving useless and its place should be taken by a coverage on behalf of the third party, together with a waiver for doctors excepting gross fault cases.
