CEO Jeffrey Segal mentions a frivolous case in an op-ed in today’s WSJ:
In a recent case we dealt with, an expert witness detailed how a urologist had botched a vasectomy, even though routine postoperative sperm counts were, as expected, zero. Nonetheless, the patient’s wife became pregnant.
A lawsuit gathered momentum based on an expert supporting the least likely hypothesis: surgical error. To almost no one’s surprise, a paternity test performed many months later solved this elementary mystery, and the case was dropped. But the urologist took little comfort in being exonerated. Too little. Too Late.
