The Role of Insurance in Compensation for Medical Injuries since the Kouchner Act

Abstract

In 2002, the French legislature reformed the country's medical liability law with the Kouchner Act (formally called the Act of March 4, 2002). This reform was the result of an assessment that liability law and private insurance as they then stood had been inadequate to compensate all victims with legitimate claims.
