This action settled for $500,000 after Deft’s testimony at trial. Pltf., a 21-year-old bail bondsman, underwent penis enlargement surgery, which was performed by Deft. Pltf. claimed that following the surgery he suffered impotence as well as scarring, shortening, and deformity of the penis. He underwent three corrective procedures. Pltf. claimed that Deft. failed to obtain his proper informed consent and that the procedure was unsafe and contraindicated and should not have been performed. Deft. argued that he had obtained Pltf. s proper informed consent and that Pltf. had signed a 4-page consent form. He contended that Pltf.'s injuries were a known risk of the procedure and that the procedure was performed properly. Carrier: MLM. |
