Liability of a doctor for medical malpractice after resignation

In case the incident occurred while the doctor was employed and the verdict from the health authority and the civil court comes after the doctor has resigned from the hospital, who pays for the compensation; the insurance provider or the doctor?

I hope you are asking about medical malpractice, always remember that defaulter has to pay and this is a general rule.

In your case, if the doctor has been found guilty of negligence, then he has to pay but, if he has insurance for that then the insurance company will pay.

A doctor’s resignation or exit from the UAE will not affect.

Feel free to contact me for further consultation.

Thank you, Mr Imran, for your reply.

The insurance was provided by the hospital, and the administration says that the insurance will not be valid once the doctor leaves the hospital.

The incident occurred while the doctor was still employed, and the verdict came after resigning.

Please reply and help.

Dear questioner,

Doctor's exit from the previous hospital will not affect his liability. further, if you are insured then insurance will pay for it.

Kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
