The number of health-related lawsuits has increased by 130% over the past 10 years, according to data published by the National Justice Council (CNJ). The study indicates that the primary issues in first-instance cases were “Health Insurance” (34.05%) and “Insurance” (23.77%), together accounting for more than half of the actions.

Beyond the evident rise in public awareness of their rights, this trend highlights a significant issue in the healthcare sector: the impersonal relationships between medical professionals and patients, reflecting a lack of humanization. This and other challenges can be addressed with guidance from a law firm specializing in Medical Law, such as Granito Boneli Advogados.
