Abstract

Loss of opportunity is a thesis occasionally invoked as a basis for liability in varied medical fields. The most common field in which loss opportunity is invoked are those cases in which a test that could be decisive to avoid damage was not carried out. However, in its most excessive form, it is used for cases in which available data are not enough to conclude that damage could be unavoidable, but the opportunity should had been offered to the patient.
