Seguro y responsabilidad patrimonial de la administraciónlos problemas del aseguramiento de la responsabilidad civil de las administraciones públicas y sus soluciones jurídicas

Resumen

Seguro y Responsabilidad Patrimonial de la Administración presents a detailed examination of the law of insurance and the Liability of Public Administration for the actions and omissions of civil servants in the provision of public services. Its objective is to illustrate how insurance works in the Public Administration. The thesis is divided into three parts and combines exposition with critical analysis. In the first part, the thesis briefly analyzes the insurance contract and provides economic arguments that the insurance is more socially beneficial in small Public Administrations than completely solvent Administrations. In the second section, the doctoral thesis provides solutions to the problems between Spanish law of insurance contracts and the regulation of Liability of Public Administration. Finally, we examine these solutions in a particular context: the medical malpractice liability insurance that provides protection in case of acts of malpractice that result in harm or injury to patients in the Public Administration.
