Check whether psychiatric harm is detriment proximately caused
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the medical material the lawyer supplies, record the diagnosis in the doctor’s words and whether the file describes a physical injury as well. Do not decide that the harm is compensable.
- What the lawyer must review
- California Civil Code § 3333 awards the amount which will compensate for all the detriment proximately caused by breach of a non-contractual obligation, except where the Code expressly provides otherwise, whether the detriment could have been anticipated or not. The opened section does not require a recognised psychiatric illness and does not separate pure mental harm from other detriment. Section 1714(a) supplies the ordinary-care responsibility. You decide whether this harm is detriment proximately caused. Do not import Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW) s 31.
