The lecture will focus on three unique aspects presented by the recent Cleveland litigation surrounding the loss of eggs and embryos due to an issue with the cryogenic tank:
The lack of clear laws or precedent regarding the rights and remedies available under Ohio law. Does the claim fall under a medical malpractice, bailment, irreplaceable loss, breach of contract or a general negligence? The logistical challenges of pursuing a case with potentially 900 plaintiffs and 87 different firms will be discussed. Lastly, the lecture will focus on the structure surrounding resolution of these claims in a way that was fair and equitable to each individual claimant and the unique challenges presented by the damages claims. Please review these reading materials in advance of the lecture.
