Dealing with telemedicine including telediagnosis and teleassistance, we have to assess the legal and ethical components of medical liability. With medical telediagnosis, the dispersion of medical liabilities is the main risk: how can we ensure a clear identification of the medical liabilities involved in case of damage? From a legal point of view, the dispersion of the liabilities is not authorized and the use of telediagnosis must ensure a total transparence. As we cannot presently establish a separate amount for a medical act based on the cost of the image records and the cost of image interpretation, it is necessary to establish a contract. Today the most convenient is a contract similar to the usual contract between laboratories which implies that the liability belongs to the practitioner who has received the sample. In the future, other legal obligations may appear when telediagnosis develops. Indeed, the increase in reliability due to telediagnosis could be normally required as a part of the medical obligation to use the latest technology. On the opposite, the excessive use of teleassistance, when there is neither emergency nor medical isolation, is dangerous because it affects the integrity and the quality of the medical act. A medical practice without any clinical examination of the patient is contrary to medical ethics.
