    AbstractThis article aims to highlight current trends in medical professional liability insurance. We present two cases of the lawsuit associated with regional anesthesia. Case 1: Cardiac arrest during femoral neck fracture surgery under combined general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia. Case 2: Neurologic complications following cystectomy under combined general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia. To avoid malpractice risks, it is important to fully understand the risks of this clinical role and how to protect yourself from potential lawsuits. Every anesthesiologist should feel obliged to pay attention to legal questions concerning medical subjects, though judgments on the contents and the extent of the informationthat must be given to patients are complex and difficult to understand for anybody not experienced in law.
