Californias Tarasoff duty, or Duty to Protect, applies when a patient makes a threat to a psychotherapist of serious violence against a reasonably identifiable victim or victims.
In medical law and medical ethics, the duty to protect is the responsibility of a mental health professional to protect patients and others from foreseeable harm.
Under California law, the insurer has a duty to immediately defend a potentially covered lawsuit. In a mixed action, where only some claims in the lawsuit are potentially covered and others are not covered, the insurance company is still obligated to defend the entire lawsuit.
Parents or caretakers may be charged with a form of criminal or civil penalty called failure to protect when they do not prevent another person from abusing the children in their care. Although couched in gender-neutral terms, defendants charged with failure to protect are almost exclusively female.
Duty to warn means a therapist needs to verbally tell someone they are in danger, and duty to protect is they need to do something. That might mean going to police, maybe more than once. Duty to warn exists when: the individual threatening harm makes specific threats.
