Professors Robertson and Hoffman publish article on driving and cognitive decline

Professors Sharona Hoffman and Cassandra Robertson recently published “Patient Autonomy, Public Safety and Drivers with Cognitive Decline” in UC Irvine Law Review (vol. 15:925). In the article, the authors recommend a framework for enhanced medical and regulatory protocols to navigate the intricacies of driving with cognitive decline.

Driving with cognitive deficits is a multifaceted challenge that impacts public safety, personal independence, family relationships, legal rights and healthcare practices. Hoffman and Burke Robertson offer a balanced approach that considers the needs, rights and obligations of patients, physicians, law enforcement authorities and other stakeholders. The article was reviewed favorably by Journal of Things We Like (Lots).
