摘要：A missed chance is the possible, not subsisting (because of the conduct of other), to achieve expected advantage or avoid the injury occurred. The major issue related to the application of the theory refers to the absence of proof of a causal link between the loss of advantage or non-injury and the injurious act and the wrongful act attributable to a third party. However, the damage from the lost chance, is certain the existence of chance itself, subordinate entity legally liable and economic valuation, although quite uncertain whether she would or would not occur. The compensation corresponds to chance (certain) and not the result sought (uncertain) and therefore finds support in the Brazilian legal system.
