Glossary term
No-Fault Compensation
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
A system of medical injury compensation in which a patient who suffers harm as a result of medical treatment can receive financial redress without needing to prove negligence on the part of the healthcare provider, as is the case in countries such as New Zealand and the Nordic states. It reduces the adversarial nature of medical dispute resolution and typically results in faster compensation for injured patients.
