Res Ipsa Loquitur/breast Disfigurement/law Suits? Posted: 01-18-06 17:14pm
I am filing a law suit against a plastic
surgeon in oregon, on my own, with no
lawyer, and am looking for anyone who has
filed a law suit using res ipsa loquitor
as there basis of claim. The main reason
for my breast reduction was for pain
relief in my shoulders and not for
cosmetic purposes. However, after my
surgery, I discovered a large indentation
under my left breast due to too much
tissue being taken out of that area,
which, of course, the doctor has no idea
what had happened! Even though I did not
go in for cosmetic reason, I did not ever
think I would come out of this surgery
with such a deformity. I need case law
referring to res ipsa loquitor-anyone have
any info?
