Legal analysis: The judicial appraisal of medical malpractice initially refers to that when the people's court accepts a civil lawsuit for compensation for medical damages, it entrusts an appraisal institution with legal appraisal qualification upon the application of one party to the medical dispute ex officio or with the consent of the people's court to analyze whether there is a fault in the medical behavior involved in the medical dispute, whether there is a causal relationship between the damage result and the medical malpractice, and the degree of fault participation according to the general tort logic.
