|
Date: April 17th, 2024 5:55 PM Author: cracking church laser beams Hi Peter. I think you mentioned this case before awhile ago. I suggested you pass on it but I’m sure I was wrong. Do you have two SOC surgeons on board? The lack of informed consent claim is usually pretty hard to prevail on but if you pled it as battery it must have been egregiously outside the scope of consent. The damages sound less than ideal frankly but I’m sure you can develop that. The big thing at this point: do you have two standard of care surgeons who would qualify as experts in court in California. |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 6:08 PM Author: milky feces Yeah we have experts. But how is being permanently hobbled and needing multiple future orthopedic procedures "less than ideal"? I took the case because it's a family friend and nobody else would take it. But medmal attorneys rarely take anything, and they certainly didn't assess value with battery claim. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5518818&forum_id=2#47591531) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 6:13 PM Author: cracking church laser beams You did the guy a solid if you were actually able to find two unimpeachable surgeons practicing within a year of the time of the event complained of, who ideally aren’t advertising their testimonial services, both of whom have identified ways in which the surgery itself probably fell below the standard of care in ways that caused or contributed to the height difference (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5518818&forum_id=2#47591543) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 6:24 PM Author: cracking church laser beams Needless to say, surviving demurrer isn’t anything significant except in commercial litigation or creative cases. I hate to shit on a case for a guy trying to help a brothah out or say I told you so but really truly I’m not altogether dumb evaluating this stuff. |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 6:28 PM Author: brindle multi-colored garrison immigrant tbcf having a battery claim survive demurrer means that it goes to trial. It's not like they'll develop evidence in discovery to show that the dude consented to the operation he got. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5518818&forum_id=2#47591593) |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 6:30 PM Author: cracking church laser beams That’s not how demurrer works in my state. It’s all about the pleadings. It’s probably the same in your state and you are just shit stirring for fun but okay. Edit lol read it again and it’s 100 percent shit stirring. Good job. Stop doing that w people whose baseline is sincerity.
Also don’t make fun of Peter even though I told him don’t take that case a year ago. He was reaching out for help just now which admittedly he wouldn’t need if he had listened to me instead of board retards saying shit about me. |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 6:38 PM Author: brindle multi-colored garrison immigrant Lol no I mean it. Getting past the pleadings means he stated a claim that an unconsented surgery = battery. It's not like there's some higher standard at SJ where the judge is going to be like, "wait a sec let me think about this more closely; is an unconsented surgery REALLY a battery??"
There's an appellate risk, but I assume he had some supporting authority or we wouldn't have survived the demurrer. |
