Insurance Against Medical Errors Resulting From Cosmetic Laser Procedures

This study discusses the civil liability of cosmetic laser procedures in the light of Jordanian law and compares it with some of the Arab legal systems. The study deals with the current surge of laser uses in cosmetic surgery, and the resulting legal dilemmas regarding medical errors, especially in nontherapeutic applications where patients' expectations are much greater. The study's purpose is to clarify legal classification of cosmetic laser procedures, to examine the requisite elements of medical liability: error, harm and causation, and to evaluate the bounds of insurance coverage for the errors. For this, a comparative analytical approach was used, comparing Jordanian laws with selected Arab laws and case law, and legal principles. The results show that cosmetic laser treatments can generate confusion about what the physician's duty is: to do his or her utmost, or to deliver a certain result. Moreover, the study points out the absence of explicit regulations in the Jordanian law regarding mandatory medical malpractice insurance for cosmetic procedures, as compared to some Arab laws (The UAE and Saudi Arabia) that impose stricter requirements. The report also identifies gaps in insurance coverage and challenges to establishing causation, reducing patient compensation. The report concludes that legislative changes are needed to better define the standards of liability and liability insurance, and to tighten up the regulatory mechanisms to assure patient safety and legal clarity regarding cosmetic medicine practices.
