V prispevku avtorica predstavi neposlovno odškodninsko odgovornost zdravnika. Gre za primere, ko pogodba o zdravljenju ni bila sklenjena, tako da zdravnik odgovarja za škodo pacientu neposredno na podlagi zakona. Posebno pozornost avtorica namenja pravilni izvedbi pojasnilne dolžnosti zdravnika, ki je eden temeljnih pogojev za veljavno izražanje soglasja pacienta k različnim medicinskim postopkom. V prispevku so predstavljene tudi izjeme od pacientove pravice do obveščenosti ter kratek primerjalnopravni pregled. Avtorica posebej opozori tudi na sisteme tako imenovane nekrivdne odškodninske odgovornosti in pojasni, kakšno je tam stališče do vprašanja kršitve pojasnilne dolžnosti zdravnika.

The paper presents the non-contractual liability of a doctor. These are the cases where the contract of treatment has not been concluded, resulting in the doctors’ responsibility for any damage to the patient under the law. The author devotes special attention to the correct implementation of the explanatory duty of a doctor, which is one of the fundamental prerequisites for a valid expression of consent of the patient for various medical procedures. The article also presents the exceptions to the right of a patient to be informed and a brief comparative overview. The author draws special attention to systems of so called no-fault liability and she also clarifies their position to the issue of violations of explanatory duty of a doctor.
