  • Title: [Insurance medicine in routine forensic medicine].
    Author: Schmidt G.
    Journal: Versicherungsmedizin; 1994 Feb 01; 46(1):2-7. PubMed ID: 8146946.
    Abstract:
    When the forensic doctor is confronted with a query coming from the insurance medicine, he will perhaps realize, that he has suddenly reached the boundaries of his knowledge. Statutory regulations are partly not yet available and partly contested. This accounts for the fact, that sometimes ten or more expert opinions are formulated for one and the same litigation. In the present paper some themes are randomly selected and reviewed in accordance with scientific findings. Investigated with references pertaining to current points at issues, are the following controversial subjects: a) Victim compensation law b) Nursing insurance law c) Transplantation law d) Acceleration trauma e) Lightning casualties f) Heroin (drug criminality) g) Age determination h) Insurance fraud The practice shows, that the physician's need to search for causality is restricted by juridical thought, be it by legal enactments or by the superior courts' guiding principles.
