The medical practice is subject to any errors that civil liability can be attributed. This paper will analyze how civil liability is attributed to medical professionals in case of errors made to the patients, under the eyes of the Brazilian legal system. For this purpose, the assumptions of civil liability, such as wrongful act, guilt, damage and causal link will first be defined and detailed. Subsequently, after discussing the general part of civil liability, the application of the provisions of the Brazilian legal system in relation to cases of medical error will be discussed. A fine line will be drawn between the obligations of doctors and the responsibility for failures that may be committed, provided for by both the Civil Code and the Consumer Protection Code. In addition, an examination about the excluding liability will be made based by the opinions of the most important authors and the most recent decisions of the national courts on the subject.
