In recent years, the number of case of civil compensation for medical accidents, which is accepted by people’s court, has been increasing quickly, and the republication of some influential cases of compensation for medical accident has echoed throughout the society. Different law-engaged people, both in academic and practical field, have different opinions about how to deal with the medical accident. In our country, the laws and regulations on medical accidents have also been adjusted according to the specific situation. For example, rules like provisions on civil procedural evidence given by the supreme people’s court and regulations on dealing with the medical accident are being enacted and implemented, and the way of dealing with and the compensation of the medical accident are legalized.By the academic comparison between domestic and foreign medical accidents, the comparison between Methods and Regulations, the discussion on the case that promote greatly the way of dealing with medical accidents and the clarification of the subject and scope of medical accidents, the author of this dissertation intends to make clear the long-term vague understanding of the medical accidents from the viewpoint of re-cognizing the definition of medical accident given by regulations on dealing with the medical accident: the medical accident refers to the accident of patients’ recognitory damage, caused by medical organs’ and medical staffs’ violation to the law of medical management, administrative rules, department regulations and normsof treatment during the process of treatment. The cognizance of the character of medical legal relation on private law mainly involves contractual relation, tortious relation, the relation of spontaneous agency, etc, i.e. relation on rights of creditor.

In this dissertation, the author also expounds the legal constitution of medical accident, i.e. the theory of four requirements: the unlawfulness of tort, the fact of damage, the causality between lawless act and the fact of damage and the fault of the subject.

The compensation for damage is the reparation of the cognizance of medical accidents.
