Civil Liability and Damages
Burchia, Eccher & Eheim advises individuals, professionals, businesses, public and private entities and healthcare providers on all major areas of civil liability, providing highly qualified legal assistance in both contentious and non-contentious matters, with particular focus on establishing liability, assessing damages and protecting the interests of the parties involved.
A key area of the Firm’s expertise is medical malpractice and healthcare liability. We represent patients, doctors, healthcare professionals and public and private healthcare providers in disputes arising from diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical and healthcare services, addressing both legal and compensation-related issues as well as complex technical and medico-legal matters.
Our extensive experience in handling numerous disputes in this field, combined with our expertise in Italian and German comparative healthcare law, enables us to address particularly complex matters through an interdisciplinary approach, coordinating, where necessary, the work of forensic medical experts, medical specialists and technical consultants.
The Firm also provides preventive and out-of-court assistance, including the assessment of the merits of claims, technical and medico-legal assessments, settlement negotiations and the pursuit of amicable solutions, while ensuring rigorous and effective representation in court whenever necessary.
We have also developed significant experience in product liability and the pharmaceutical sector, advising businesses and individuals in disputes involving defective products, medical devices, medicinal products and other potentially harmful goods, as well as in related proceedings to establish liability and claim damages.
The Firm also advises on other areas of civil liability, including contractual and non-contractual liability, professional liability, personal injury and property damage, damage arising from unlawful acts and claims for damages resulting from breaches of contractual obligations or other legal duties.
