Legal Answers
Q. Circumcision Consent Form did not specify risk of death.
A: While I empathize with your situation, you do not have standing to sue for damages, because the circumcision did not result in injury or death. In legal terms, "standing" refers to the legal right to bring a lawsuit.

The fact that you were unaware of the circumcision for 24 years does not necessarily invalidate the consent form signed by your mother. Consent forms typically outline the risks and benefits of a medical procedure, including potential complications. While it's unfortunate that your mother may not have been fully informed about the risks, the absence of explicit mention of the risk of death on the consent form does not invalidate it, as your circumcision did not lead to death.

As to the the statute of limitations, it sets the period during which legal action can be pursued. Since no physical injury, harm, or death occurred in this case, you lack grounds to sue, rendering the question of the statute of limitations irrelevant.

Further, the statute of limitations sets the period during which legal action can be pursued. Since no physical injury, harm, or death occurred in this case, you lack grounds to sue, rendering the question of the statute of limitations irrelevant. ... Read More
