Court rejects widower's lawsuit against Görlitz Clinic!

A widower has lost his claim for damages and pain and suffering against the Görlitzer Klinikum. The Görlitz regional court rejected the widower's lawsuit because the court did not find any incorrect treatment of the plaintiff's deceased wife. A breach of duty by the hospital staff was also not recognized.

The plaintiff's 87-year-old wife fell from a mobile gondola and sustained a fracture. She later died after an operation. The plaintiff had complained about alleged treatment errors and inadequate securing of the couch. Despite the rejection of his lawsuit, the plaintiff has the opportunity to go to the Saxon Higher Regional Court. His claim amounts to over 30,000 euros, like radiolausitz.de reported.

In another case involving malpractice in a medical context, a claim was also dismissed. Here, the widow and son of a patient who died after an artificial heart implantation sued for compensation for pain and suffering as well as compensation for funeral costs and maintenance damages. Despite the appellate court's finding of malpractice, causality for the patient's death could not be proven, which is why the plaintiffs' appeal was rejected. Informed about this openjur.de.
