A defendant stabbed a victim, creating a life-threatening wound. At the hospital, a doctor negligently delayed surgery, and the victim died. Medical experts say the stab wound started the fatal process, but prompt surgery likely would have saved the victim.
Which statement best describes causation?

Choose the Best Answer

Only intentional medical misconduct can ever be relevant to causation. Ordinary negligent medical treatment normally does not break the causal chain when the defendant inflicted a life-threatening wound. The defendant is not a factual cause if later treatment contributes to death. A doctor always becomes the sole legal cause of death when treatment begins.
