Straight from the trenches of 1L Torts, this hand-drawn flowchart tackles the confusing and often debated Lost Chance Doctrine—when a missed medical diagnosis or delayed treatment might support a claim for damages, even if survival wasn’t guaranteed.
In this visual guide, “Lost Leg” meets “Lost Chance,” and you’re invited to trace through proximate cause, medical probabilities, and the frustration of conditional causation—with just enough chaos and color to match how it feels in class.
Originally created in my law school notebook and finished in digital ink and watercolor, this piece turns your outline into something you’ll actually want to look at.
You can buy a beautiful art print of the drawing here at my Etsy shop, that’s full of gifts for lawyers and law students in your life (or you too…!).
Printed in full color on premium heavyweight matte paper (200 gsm / 80 lb), uncoated, smooth, and non-reflective. FSC-certified or equivalent—because we care about causation and sustainability.
Available in multiple sizes.
Thanks for visiting—and don’t forget: a 49% chance of recovery might just be enough… depending on your jurisdiction. Be safe out there!
