What is the objective and objective component of a medical malpractice claim?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gallegos v. Seeley, Case No.: 3:18-cv-01322-JAH-MSB (S.D. Cal. 2020):

The objective component is generally satisfied so long as the prisoner alleges facts to show that his medical need is sufficiently "serious" such that the "failure to treat [that] condition could result in further significant injury or the unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain." Clement, 298 F.3d at 904 (quotations omitted); see also Doty v. County of Lassen, 37 F.3d 540, 546 (9th Cir. 1994) ("serious" medical conditions are those a reasonable doctor would think worthy of comment, those which significantly affect the prisoner's daily activities, and those which are chronic and accompanied by substantial pain).
