title: [Liability in the hospital from the physician's viewpoint].
abstract: The right on liability results from the contract between the physician/hospital and the patient or from the offense jurisdiction. It results from a multitude of typical areas of organization and responsibility. Lack of care or negligence are often mentioned as reasons for a claim. Frequent examples are demonstrated. Causes of a more difficult hospital's ability for liability are discussed as well as psychological aspects on both sides.
