The aim of this paper is to present all the basics of physician responsibility, if it is established that there is a close connection between the error and the proven error and dam- age caused to the health of the patient, but also to third parties. The issue of medical error is not exclusively related to compensation for damages, since it heavily relies on medical law too. Although mistakes are mainly caused by the wrong actions of the doctors in performing their professional activi- ties, the paper also deals with the responsibility of medical institutions for the damage being caused. An inaccurate definition of the legal nature of doctors’ responsibilities, obligations imposed on medical workers by law, the definition of errors in a medical treatment, as well as the legal basis of liability to third parties, indicate that there are many not only legal but also ethical and moral dilemmas requaring the additional attention and analysis, which is also the goal of this paper. REZIME: U radu su analizirani građanskopravni aspekti odgovornosti medicinskih radnika i ustanova zbog štete nastale usled greške lekara pri pružanju medicinske zaštite. Cilj rada je da se prikažu svi osnovi odgovor- nosti lekara, ukoliko se utvrdi postojanje uzočne veze između nastale i doka- zane greške i štete pričinjene zdravlju pacijenta, ali i trećim licima. Pitanje lekarske greške nije isključivo vezano za naknadu štete, obzirom da se u ve- likoj meri oslanja i na medicinsko pravo. Iako greške uglavnom nastaju usled pogrešnog postupanja lekara u obavljanju svoje profesionalne delatnosti, rad se bavi i odgovornošću medicinskih ustanova za nastalu štetu. Neprecizno definisanje pravne prirode odgovornosti lekara, obaveza koje pravo nameće medicinskim radnicima, definisanje greške u medicinskom tretmanu, kao i pravni osnovi odgovornosti prema trećim licima, ukazuju na to da postoji veliki broj ne samo pravnih već i etičkih i moralnih dilema koje zahtevaju dodatnu pažnju i analizu, što je ujedno i cilj ovoga rada.
