receiving care in a hospital or clinic is subject to specific liability rules: the institution is strictly liable unless it proves an external cause. The victim therefore does not have to establish fault. If the infection results in permanent physical or psychological impairment (AIPP) exceeding 25%, or death, compensation is paid by ONIAM under France\u2019s national solidarity scheme (Article L1142-1-1 of the French Public Health Code).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-145io-07a280a94b19893eebdb7d93a1d96d6a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-145io-07a280a94b19893eebdb7d93a1d96d6a{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-145io-07a280a94b19893eebdb7d93a1d96d6a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912{\npadding-bottom:10px;\nfont-size:26px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mnef9alj-5f5b0de869ee87be0a8c090730581912 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Can you receive compensation without medical fault?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8lehw-4e35c774177c2219960a675926439338\">\n#top .hr.av-8lehw-4e35c774177c2219960a675926439338{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-8lehw-4e35c774177c2219960a675926439338 .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#000000;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-8lehw-4e35c774177c2219960a675926439338 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock  hr-left hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mnefaqa9-17738f267074c7b74f80abb5daac1118'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"translation-block\">Yes, you can obtain <a href=\"https:\/\/marilyneletessier-avocat.fr\/en\/indemnisation-dommage-corporel\/\" target=\"_self\">compensation<\/a> even without fault.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, French law provides for compensation under the principle of national solidarity in certain cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Where no liability is established, a no-fault medical injury may qualify for compensation from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oniam.fr\/accidents-medicaux\" target=\"_self\">ONIAM<\/a> under France\u2019s national solidarity scheme (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legifrance.gouv.fr\/codes\/article_lc\/LEGIARTI000020628252\" target=\"_self\">Article L1142-1 of the French Public Health Code<\/a>).

victim may submit a claim free of charge to the relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.service-public.gouv.fr\/particuliers\/vosdroits\/F13318\" target=\"_self\">Conciliation and Compensation Commission (CCI)<\/a>. If the claim meets the eligibility requirements for the compensation procedure, the CCI arranges an expert assessment and has six months from receipt of the complete application to issue its opinion. If it finds that the victim is entitled to compensation, the healthcare professional\u2019s or institution\u2019s insurer, or ONIAM depending on the applicable rules, must make an offer within four months of receiving that opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Final compensation depends, in particular, on the point at which the victim\u2019s condition has stabilised and any permanent impairments can be assessed. An interim compensation offer may, however, be made before that point.<\/p>\n<p>Be mindful of the time limit for bringing a claim: liability claims against healthcare professionals or institutions, as well as compensation claims submitted to ONIAM in the cases covered by Article L. 1142-28 of the French Public Health Code, are subject to a ten-year limitation period starting from the date the victim\u2019s condition stabilises. Submitting a claim to the CCI suspends these limitation periods until the procedure ends (Article L. 1142-7 of the same Code).<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">To understand the entire process,
