Torts: Medical Malpractice

This is part of the Restatement Third, Torts, series that, when complete, will supersede Restatement Second, Torts. This volume covers the distinct liability issues that arise when a patient seeks or obtains medical care. It focuses on the doctrinal core that distinguishes medical liability from other areas of tort law, leaving to other portions of the Restatement Third of Torts coverage of the many generally applicable topics and doctrinal elements that can arise across a range of tort actions, including medical malpractice.
