A RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL MÉDICA PELA PERDA DE UMA CHANCE E AS MÍDIAS DIGITAIS

Abstract

This article analyzes the application of the loss of chance theory in the context of civil liability, considering the social and technological transformations that influence the relationship between healthcare professionals and their patients. The research discusses the role of the Judiciary in medical conduct in cases of error, especially those that result in the loss of an opportunity for cure or survival. It also addresses the implications of advertising medical services and the impact of social media on individual decision-making. By exploring the doctrinal and jurisprudential developments on the topic, the work highlights the importance of the loss of chance theory as an instrument for protecting patients' rights and as a reflection of a new paradigm of civil liability, which seeks to offer effective responses to the challenges of contemporary society.
