Journal Title: Roczniki Nauk Prawnych - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4

Abstract

The article presents a legal assessment of physiotherapeutic errors. It was not unimportant for this assessment that the regulation of the physiotherapist’s profession was proven, which made it possible to confirm that errors in physiotherapeutic art are in fact medical errors. In turn this allowed us to consider the possible criminal liability of this occupational group for medical errors. Final conclusions have finally confirmed that physiotherapists can be held liable for medical errors under Articles 156, 157 or 160 PC.
