Medical Law: Legal Support in Medical Negligence, Patient Rights & Physician Liability
Medical Law is a highly specialized and sensitive field that requires combined expertise in both legal and medical sciences. Karpouzis – Lianou & Associates Law Firm has over 15 years of experience in handling cases of medical malpractice, violations of medical obligations, and patient rights claims.
Having worked with doctors, healthcare institutions, and patients’ families throughout Greece, we offer specialized, reliable, and well-documented legal representation tailored to the requirements of each case.
Services for Patients & Families
Out-of-Court Representation & Negotiation
We represent clients in out-of-court dispute resolution procedures through negotiations with physicians, private clinics, and hospitals, aiming for a fair settlement and avoidance of lengthy and emotionally taxing litigation. Our approach is strategic and well-supported, with emphasis on protecting the rights and dignity of patients and their families.
Lawsuits for Medical Negligence
If you have suffered physical or psychological harm due to misdiagnosis, negligence during medical procedures, or insufficient information regarding treatment risks and alternatives, we provide full legal representation to pursue fair compensation. We handle evidence collection, filing of lawsuits, and case advocacy before civil and criminal courts with a strategic mindset and respect for the legal and medical complexity involved.
A Human Approach in Difficult Cases
We understand that medical negligence cases carry significant emotional burden and human suffering. We approach each case with respect, empathy, and full discretion, ensuring our clients feel understood and legally protected. Our aim is to offer meaningful support — both legal and human — at every stage of the process.
Representation before Civil and Criminal Courts
We provide legal representation at all levels of the justice system, in both civil and criminal courts, for cases involving medical malpractice. We pursue compensation for moral damage, physical injury, loss of income, permanent disability, or even wrongful death, through comprehensive legal preparation and procedural strategy. From pre-trial to final judgment, we provide complete legal guidance to ensure justice and protect our clients’ rights.
Services for Physicians & Healthcare Institutions
Defense of Physicians in Medical Malpractice Claims
We defend physicians facing civil lawsuits or criminal charges for alleged malpractice. We provide full legal representation at all procedural stages — from preliminary investigation to trial — focusing on protecting the medical professional’s integrity and reputation. Our support includes legal strategy, collaboration with medical experts, and preparation of substantiated legal pleadings to strengthen the defense.
Legal Risk Prevention Consulting
We provide specialized legal advice to physicians, private practitioners, and healthcare institutions for designing and implementing legally sound procedures for patient consent and information. Legal risk prevention is critical to avoiding future disputes. We review existing forms, internal policies, and patient communication flows to ensure transparency, informed consent, and legal protection of healthcare providers against potential claims.
Drafting & Legal Review of Medical Agreements
We offer specialized legal services for drafting, revising, and reviewing contracts concerning collaborations between physicians and private or public medical centers, diagnostic labs, and insurance companies. We ensure compliance with current legislation and recommend contractual clauses that protect the interests of healthcare professionals or service providers. We specialize in professional agreements, liability terms, patient data protection, and medical ethics, ensuring legal clarity and transparency in all professional relationships.
