The principle of civil liability
Le principe général de la responsabilité civile repose sur la réparation d’un préjudice causé à une victime, directe ou indirecte. Pour que la responsabilité médicale soit mise en œuvre, trois conditions doivent être prouvables : le dommage subi (atteinte portée à autrui), le fait à l’origine du dommage (fait générateur qui peut être une faute), et le lien de causalité entre la faute et le dommage. De même, il existe des régimes particuliers fondés sur un fait générateur, qui s’appuie soit sur la faute, soit sur le risque.The general principle of civil liability is based on compensation for harm caused to a victim, whether directly or indirectly. In order for medical liability to be implemented, three conditions must be proved: the damage suffered (harm to others), the fact that caused the damage (chargeable event that can be a fault), and the causal link between the fault and the damage. Similarly, there are special schemes based on a chargeable event, based either on fault or on risk.
In matters of civil liability, your lawyer Fabien Manoury intervenes for the repair of any type of damage suffered. Compensation for the damage suffered relates to various types of damage: personal injury, property damage, but also moral prejudice.
Some examples of facts that cause bodily harm
Traffic accident
A road or circulation accident involves any traffic event in which a land motor vehicle is involved on a public road. The victims present at the scene of the traffic accident are the direct victims (passengers, drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, etc.). Ricocheted victims can also be compensated, they are close victims (children, spouses, close friends) who suffer harm as a result of the situation of the direct victim. This damage by ricochets is equally legitimately compensable
Accident at work
Three specific situations relate to accidents at work. The first is that which occurs because of or on the occasion of the performance of a work mission, regardless of the cause. The second relates to a commuting accident suffered by an employee while travelling between his place of residence and his place of work. The third situation refers to an occupational disease linked to an exposure of the employee to any risk, or to the conditions under which he carries out his work.
Sports accident
A sports accident may be the subject of compensation in the context of a sports activity, whether it took place in the context of a training within a club, or in an informal context. Accidents related to the practice of sport are generally compensated in the framework of personal injury and DINTILHAC nomenclature. However, the modalities are different from one case to another, especially if the risks were taken consciously by the victim of the sports accident.
Physical assault
The law recognizes that any person who is the victim of a physical assault has a right to compensation for their bodily harm, whether or not the perpetrator is solvent, and whether or not he or she is known. At the request of the lawyer, the criminal judge (see the judge in charge of interim proceedings in civil matters) may grant the victim an advance on their compensation, the amount of which will be conditioned to the medical assessment ordered in conjunction with the payment of a advance. The lawyer therefore seeks both a provision and an expertise, which will determine the harm related to the assault and injury suffered by the victim and allow to assess the compensation. In criminal matters the perpetrator of the offence will be sentenced on the penal level (imprisonment for example) and on the civil level (damages paid to the victim)
An error or medical accident
Errors or medical accidents resulting from a medical act or treatment resulting in bodily harm. These may include nosocomial infections (in the case of contamination within a care facility), iatrogenic infections (in the case of consequences related to medical treatment, for example due to overdose or poor prescription of medication) an error in diagnosis, a mistake in the practice of a medical gesture or more generally care that would not be appropriate and consistent with the data acquired from medical science. Medical error, iatrogenic infection, nosocomial infection are elements that generate bodily harm, such as aggression or a traffic accident. Personal injury should be compensated in the same way.
Domestic violence
Domestic and family violence are assaults against one or more victims within the home, with the spouse and children potentially affected. These acts of violence are committed within a married, committed or common-law couple. Sometimes even between people no longer living together. This particular violence requires adequate treatment. The phenomenon of the author’s psychological control over his victim is increasingly recognized by the legislator and the courts as having to receive specific attention and treatment. The lawyer, as he defends the victims of this violence thus participates in the legal steps to protect the victims. The priority is to provide them with a healthy and stable environment. The lawyer can then act to claim compensation for the damages suffered.
