Does deliberate indifference to a pretrial detainee's serious medical needs violate the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Curry v. Cal. Forensic Med. Grp., No. 2:18-cv-2513 KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2020):

words, deliberate indifference to a pretrial detainee's serious medical needs violates the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Although a deliberate indifference test applies to a pretrial detainee's claim, it is an objective deliberate indifference test, rather than the subjective deliberate indifference test applicable to a prisoner's claim under the Eighth Amendment. See Gordon v. County of Orange, 888 F.3d 1118, 1122 & n.4 (9th Cir. 2018). The claim is evaluated under an objective deliberate indifference standard.
