Court Acquits Physician in Emergency Care Case, Citing Lack of Proof of Causation
The client, a physician, was indicted for involuntary manslaughter on the grounds that a delay in performing endotracheal intubation during emergency treatment led to the patient’s death. The defense team at One Law Partners, LLC argued that causation between the alleged negligence and the outcome was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt, emphasizing the severity of the patient’s preexisting condition and the realities of emergency medical judgment. The court acquitted the physician, underscoring the high evidentiary standard for criminal liability in medical cases and the need to respect clinical judgment in emergency settings.
