Case Style:
Brittany Price, et al. v. Deepa Vasireddy, M.D., et al.
Case Number: C-20197001
Judge: Scott J. Privat
Court: Fifteenth Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafayette, Louisiana
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Alan K. Breaud, Timothy W. Basen
Description:
Lafayette, Louisiana personal injury medical malpractice lawyers represented the Plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs are the natural parents of the minor child, James A. Merrill. After the child's birth, Plaintiffs, on September 29, 2017, brought the minor child to Defendants to have him circumcised. Plaintiffs assert that during the circumcision, Defendants negligently removed the minor child's ventral penile shaft skin to the penoscrotal junction and much of the left and right lateral penile skin. A subsequent surgical procedure was required to repair the damage. The minor child now has permanent scaring.
The Plaintiffs, on behalf of their minor child, filed a medical malpractice action against Defendants. The matter was tried before a jury, which found that Plaintiffs failed to prove the applicable standard of care for a pediatrician performing a circumcision, and thus rejected Plaintiffs' claims.
