verdic of the case Rogers v Whitaker [1992]

Question

Who';s fault is it doctor or patients

Answer 1

In the case of Rogers v Whitaker [1992], the High Court of Australia found the doctor to be at fault.

The case involved negligent failure to warn the patients about the risks associated with a surgical procedure. The court held that the doctor had a duty to inform the patients of material risks, ensuring they were able to make an informed decision about their treatment.

Therefore, in this case, the fault was attributed to the doctor for not fulfilling their duty of care to the patients by adequately informing them of the risks involved.
