Abstract

Pravilna ocjena i dokumentacija tjelesnih ozljeda globalno su prepoznati kao važan čimbenik na sudu, budući da te informacije mogu biti ključne tijekom suđenja za dokazivanje ili opovrgavanje nasilnog čina te za pravilnu osudu odgovornog počinitelja. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati važnost tjelesnog pregleda ozlijeđene osobe te važnost medicinske dokumentacije koja se sačinjava pri pregledu ozljeđenika. Ukratko su prikazani dijelovi Kaznenog zakona Republike Hrvatske koji su u vezi s kaznenim djelima povezanima s ozlijeđenim osobama, s posebnim naglaskom na kaznena djela protiv života i tijela. Nadalje, s pravno laičkog aspekta prikazane su razine dokaznih standarda unutar Zakona o kaznenom postupku i Kaznenog zakona u onoj mjeri u kojoj je potrebno kako bi se povezala važnost dobre medicinske dokumentacije s efikasnim pravosudnim postupkom. Dalje je prikazana važnost i utjecaj medicinske dokumentacije tijekom spomenutih suđenja, osobito s osvrtom na različite kliničke struke koje su najčešće prve u doticaju s ozlijeđenim osobama pa je važnost njihovog pregleda često od vrlo velike, a nekad i presudne važnosti za kasniji pravosudni postupak, budući da je često inicijalna medicinska dokumentacija gotovo i jedina medicinska dokumentacija koja se koristi kao dokaz kasnije u tijeku pravosudnog postupka. Na kraju ovog rada navedeni su osnovni elementi dobrog sudskomedicinskog tjelesnog pregleda ozlijeđene osobe, a također su istaknute postojeće smjernice za dokumentiranje tjelesnih ozljeda žrtava određenih konkretnih nasilnih djela.

Abstract (english)

Proper assessment and documentation of physical injuries is globally recognized as an important factor in court, as this can be crucial information during a trial to prove or disprove a violent act and to properly convict offender(s) behind it. The aim of this paper is to show the importance of physical examination of an injured person and the importance of medical documentation that is made during the examination of the injured. Parts of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Croatia related to criminal offenses regarding injured persons are briefly presented, with special emphasis on criminal offenses against life and body. Furthermore, from a legally lay point of view, the levels of evidentiary standards within the Criminal Procedure Code and the Criminal Code are presented to the extent necessary to link the importance of good medical records with efficient judicial proceedings. The importance and impact of medical records during these trials are further demonstrated. Special consideration is devoted to different clinical professions that are often the first to encounter injured persons and their examination is often very important since the initial medical records are often the only medical records available as evidence later in the course of judicial proceedings. At the end of this paper, the basic elements of a good forensic physical examination of an injured person are listed and the existing guidelines for documenting bodily injuries of victims of certain specific violent acts are also highlighted.
