Complaints against Medical Rescue Teams and their members submitted to District and Regional Courts within the area of District Court in Kielce and Katowice in the years 2014-2019

Abstract

Today's medical rescue in pre-hospital care is a series of ongoing legal and administrative changes and regulations, increasing the scope of competence of medical rescuers working in - basic Medical Rescue Teams. The decreasing number of specialist Emergency Medical Teams, in the continuous process of system changes, makes paramedics face even greater responsibility in terms of performing medical rescue operations and possible errors that hang over paramedics in their everyday work. Demanding patients and their families, the growing number of many private insurance claim law firms dealing with the medical cases is another piece of the puzzle that today sets a bruising path in the search for property benefits and compensation in the form of lawsuits brought to Medical Rescue Teams and their members.
