title="Out-of-court models of compensating medical injuries in Poland",
abstract=" The Polish legal system has limited experience in developing out-of-court models of compensating medical injuries. This situation began to change gradually in the second decade of the 21st century with the introduction of the so-called regional commissions for medical events in Polish law. The new solutions allowed people to claim compensation and redress for so-called medical events without the need to go to court. These legal changes, along with rapid economic and social development and a new approach to the role of the state, led to the introduction in Polish law of the so-called compensation funds, including the Vaccination Compensation Fund, the Clinical Trials Compensation Fund, and the Medical Event Compensation Fund. Each fund was created under different circumstances and serves a distinct purpose, and Poland has not yet established a single, unified model for compensating medical injury. The purpose of this article is to examine how these funds operate. ",
