The contractual nature of medical civil liability. A comparative study of Franco-Chilean law

The contractual nature of the medical liability had no the same interest in Chilean law that French law. However, the increasing privatization of health and the phenomenon of contracting activity for Chilean takes us a deal to make a further study to determinate the contours from the French law. The main problem was that the applicants have escaped the contractual liability and mainly because of the problem of overlapping responsibilities. This problem present in Chilean law can be resolved through a thorough study of the medical contract, the conditions of its existence and validity of its main characteristics and different theories have attempted to explain its legal nature and it provide a legal regime that atypical contracts. On the other hand we have to deal with all cases where the initial medical relationship does not source the medical contract, although it has been considered anyway by courts and commentators as having a contractual, and why try to analyze the different theories that have had the purpose of contractualize responsibility for private and public hospitals,, by the fact of their employees, to avoid the responsibility of these centers become effective in accordance with standards of tort.
