Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Korea for Foreign Patients

Medical Litigation Requires a Specialist

Medical litigations require a specialist who is an expert in both medical and legal cases. These are among the most complex lawsuits in Korea because they demand deep understanding of medical procedures, diagnostic standards, treatment protocols, and the legal framework governing healthcare liability.

Taeshin's Medical Advisory Team is constituted of licensed medical doctors who also practice law. We provide integrated medical and legal analysis for malpractice and healthcare-related disputes, so your case is handled by someone who can read your medical records like a physician and argue your legal claim like an experienced litigator. Foreign patients in Korea, whether residents, medical tourists, or short-term visitors, are represented on the same terms as Korean patients.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

The Korean Medical Dispute Process

Korea has a specialized Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency that handles many malpractice claims before they reach court. While mediation can be faster, it requires careful preparation because settlements reached there are binding. Our attorneys have served as examiners and appraisal committee members at this agency, giving us insider knowledge of how cases are evaluated.

When mediation is not appropriate or does not yield fair results, we take cases to litigation with the same thorough preparation we apply across all our matters.

For Foreign Patients

Foreign nationals who received medical treatment in Korea whether as residents, medical tourists, or visitors and suffered harm face unique challenges. Medical records may be in Korean, communication with hospitals may have been limited, and understanding the Korean healthcare system adds another layer of difficulty. Our bilingual team removes these barriers entirely.
