Patients injured in hospitals can claim economic compensation from insurance companies for negligence or inconnect treatment. Where there is no fault, patients have the right to apply to a parliamentary committee for compensation for reasons of equity. Practice indicates that applications are normally granted. The decisive issue is whether the patient has been "especially unlucky". Examples are presented. On average the injured patients receive NOK 75,000, and often up to NOK 150,000. This arrangement is not well known, however, and there are only a few injured patients who apply for such compensation. Information from doctors could change this situation.
在医院受到伤害的患者可因疏忽或不当治疗向保险公司索赔经济赔偿。若不存在过错，患者有权出于公平原因向议会委员会申请赔偿。实践表明，申请通常会获批。关键问题在于患者是否“格外不幸”。文中给出了相关例子。受伤患者平均可获得75,000挪威克朗赔偿，通常可达150,000挪威克朗。然而，这种赔偿安排并不广为人知，申请此类赔偿的受伤患者寥寥无几。医生提供的信息可能会改变这一状况。
