The amendment to the Polish pharmaceutical law related to Directive 2001/20 / EC of the European Parliament caused far-reaching changes in the clinical trial insurance market in Poland.
Both tests of medicinal products and medical devices are covered by the insurance obligation on conditions not worse than those specified in the relevant regulations of the Minister of Finance. It is worth noting that both regulations impose minimum sums insured/ limits depending on the number of participants in the study.

The main problem of compulsory third party liability insurance
of a researcher and sponsor in Poland is the construction of the insurance itself. It was
created as a normal third party liability insurance. The result is that the insurance primarily
protects the insured - the perpetrator of the damage, from its financial consequences - claims
of the aggrieved party. Participants / patients are not directly insured in any
way.
Insurance cover is granted on the basis of generally binding civil
law (Article 415 of the Civil Code). This means that the damage must be culpable by the
insured.
The second impediment is the need for the injured person to prove
the damage caused by the insured`s actions, which stems from the provisions of art. 6 of Polish
Civil Code, and that for many reasons (eg the state of the victim) is
difficult.
Although the compulsory insurance is arranged, the
participant still carries a significant risk of participating in the study.
Therefore, we recommend to our clients to additionally arrange a non-fault liabillity insurance, which provides insurance coverage in the event of damages for which the investigator or sponsor is not culpable. In this insurance, the participant is entitled to compensation as a result of his injury or damage to his health in connection with the study, and the insurer may not refuse to pay compensation, calling that the Insured`s was dilligent or the participant consented to the risk of adverse effects by signing the ICF.
