Dear members,

The international congress organised by the five Belgian associations dealing with the assessment of personal injury and by the European Institute of Experts and Expertise will take place on Friday and Saturday 24 and 25 November 2023 at the BLUE POINT in Liège.

The chosen theme is “Accidents in all their aspects”. The goal is to provide an update on the latest medical, judicial and financial (insurance, etc.) developments. Numerous experts will present their subjects in short 15-minute presentations.

Psychiatry, neurology, vascular surgery, disaster medicine, urology, the legal profession (lawyers), the judiciary, emergency services, home care, financial settlement of claims, patient representatives, prosthetic and orthotic aids, etc. will all be discussed.

All aspects of accidents

The conference will review the latest developments in medical, legal and financial matters (insurance, etc.) in psychiatry, neurology, vascular surgery, disaster medicine, urology, the role of magistrates and lawyers, emergency services, home care, financial settlement of damages, patient representation, prosthetic and orthotic aids, etc. At the same time, the Royal Belgian Society of Forensic Medicine will be holding a conference on forensic medicine and criminal law in a second room. Most of the speakers are academics. It should be noted that there will also be a separate section dealing with forensic medicine and criminal law, organised by the Royal Belgian Society of Forensic Medicine.

The speakers will be spread over two days (one day on Friday and half a day on Saturday morning). Simultaneous translation will be provided, as the speakers are both French- and Dutch-speaking. The full programme will be announced shortly.

The 26 speakers (or more) are spread over several rooms.

There will also be a number of social activities, including a wine tasting session led by one of our expert colleagues who is also a renowned oenologist (for a small fee).

The full programme will of course include, as usual, the welcome coffee, morning and afternoon coffee breaks and a lunch on Friday.

Last but not least, on Friday evening, the gala dinner will be hosted by chef Jean-Luc DANIEL, of the famous restaurant “Le Cabochon”, known for his culinary presentations on RTBF as well as for organising numerous meals for various international organisations.

Finally, we would like to point out that the Blue Point has a guaranteed car park for 120 cars, and that parking spaces are readily available in the streets adjacent to the establishment.

ETATS GÉNÉRAUX DU DROIT MÉDICAL ET DU DOMMAGE CORPOREL: CYCLE COMPLET DU 21 ET 28 AVRIL 2023

Bram Bekaert

Appliquer le droit au fait nécessite de connaître l’un et de comprendre l’autre.  

Parce que le droit médical et le droit du dommage corporel sont également soumis à cette double exigence, les Etats généraux du droit médical et du dommage corporel 2023 se placent à la croisée des domaines du droit et de la médecine. 

Nouveauté cette année, pour explorer ces deux domaines aux liens étroits, les thèmes étudiés sont répartis sur deux journées : les vendredis 21 et 28 avril 2023.

La journée du 21 avril 2023 traitera de la problématique des amputations. Le thème choisi   «Corps amputé, corps prothésé : simple puzzle de la réparation ? »  incite à une réflexion sur le parcours suivi par une personne confrontée à une amputation, depuis l’annonce de celle-ci jusqu’à l’intégration de son corps endommagé dans une existence ainsi quelque peu précarisée. 

La journée du 28 avril 2023 s’intéressera à diverses questions spécifiques et variées du droit médical et au droit du dommage corporel, telles que la gestion de la violence à l’hôpital, la décision thérapeutique et les tensions qu’elle crée, le registre national des experts, la place de la visioconférence dans l’expertise médicale, le préjudice d’impréparation, les bienfaits de la rente et quelques questions procédurales.

Ce colloque est destiné aux juristes (avocats, magistrats, juristes d’entreprises).  Il peut aussi intéresser les médecins pratiquant l’expertise médicale.
