后续治疗费通常是指,先前治疗体征虽已经稳定,但仍遗留组织、器官等功能障碍而确需进行后续治疗,或伤情尚未恢复而需二次治疗所产生的费用。因后续治疗费是否产生及产生的具体数额存在较大的不确定性和不可预见性,司法实践中对其采用的认定标准及主张方式存在较大的争议。依照完全赔偿原则,受害人主张的后续治疗费用与侵权人的侵权行为之间应当存在因果关系。受害人可以与已经发生的医疗费一并主张的后续治疗费用应具有必要性和合理性。即该后续治疗费用是必然发生的,且能够满足受害人治疗和恢复的基本需要。虽然受害人通常为减少讼累而在一审中就对后续治疗费用进行主张,但除该费用属于必要支出,法院通常会告知受害人可待费用实际发生后另行主张。受害人就后续治疗费用另行起诉的行为不构成重复起诉。
<<The follow-up treatment fee usually refers to the expenses incurred when the previous treatment signs have been stable,but there are still functional disorders such as tissues and organs that need follow-up treatment,or the injury has not recovered and needs secondary treatment. Due to the great uncertainty and unpredictability of whether the follow-up treatment fee is generated and the specific amount,there is a great controversy on the identification standard and claim method adopted in judicial practice. According to the principle of full compensation,there should be a causal relationship between the follow-up treatment fee claimed by the victim and the infringement behavior of the infringer. The follow-up treatment fee that the victim can claim together with the medical expenses that have already occurred should be necessary and reasonable. That is to say,the follow-up treatment fee is inevitable and can meet the basic needs of treatment and rehabilitation of victims. Although the victim usually claims for the cost of follow-up treatment for the first instance to reduce the litigation burden,except that the cost is necessary,the court will usually inform the victim that he can make another claim after it occurs. The victim’s separate prosecution for the cost of follow-up treatment does not constitute repeated prosecution.
