Medical Negligence In India Is Both a Criminal Offence Under Ipc and Cr.P.C As Well As a Civil Liability Under the Law of Tort. If There Is a Violation of Duty of Care, Civil Responsibility Normally Involves a Claim For Damages In the Form of Compensation. It Refers to a Lack of Caution In a Situation When Caution Is Required By Law. When This Responsibility Is Breached, a Patient Has the Right to Sue For Negligence. Under the General Law, Civil Culpability, I.E. Monetary Compensation, Can Be Sought By Pursuing a Remedy Before an Appropriate Civil Court or Consumer Forum. Dependents of the Deceased Patient or the Patient Himself (If Alive) File a Lawsuit Claiming Civil Culpability For the Erring Medical Practitioner In Order to Obtain Compensation.
