The Types of Liability and Scopes of Compensation in Medical Accidents

在意外事故（如交通事故、火災事故等）發生後，若伴隨著醫療事故致生損害加重時，被告醫院及醫師，對於意外事故及醫療事故所生之損害，是否應負全部損害賠償責任？又在許多醫療事故，並非全然係因醫師的過失致損害發生，而係因病患的特殊體質，發生無法預期的嚴重損害結果（如成為植物人或死亡等），醫師是否應負全部賠償責任？凡此，皆涉及醫療事故中，醫院及醫師應負之損害賠償責任範圍。

The paper aims to, firstly, explore whether the hospital and doctors are liable for the damage arising from the combination of car accident and medical malpractice. The second issue of this paper is to examine the hospital and doctors’ liability where the patient suffered damage due to medical malpractice while he has special characteristics of body, e.g., heart disease or diabetes, which has never been known to the doctors.

The paper contends that several and joint liability is not necessary appropriate for the hospital and doctors in the medical malpractice cases occurring with a car accident, and that the compensation has to be reduced according to the doctrine of comparative negligence where a patient suffered due to medical malpractice while he has special characteristics of body.
