Seminar Abstract: Negligent design is a legal theory stating that a product was designed in such a way it could foreseeably lead to injury. This presentation examines two actual legal cases, a civil and a criminal case, both involving healthcare technologies. Participants will be provided with evidence on the design of technology in each case and asked to determine which case involved negligent design.
