Circumcision is a common medical procedure, but not all methods are created equal. The Mogen Clamp, a device used in some circumcision procedures, has come under scrutiny due to its association with severe injuries and complications. The risks associated with the Mogen Clamp are well known, but those affected should know their legal options after a serious and permanent injury.
Background
The Mogen Clamp is a medical device used in penile circumcisions. There are several ways a doctor can perform a circumcision, and the Mogen Clamp is just one. Some medical professionals choose this type of clamp because the procedure time is shorter, and less expertise is required to use it than other methods of circumcision. However, the Mogen clamp has been the subject of multiple lawsuits after infants were permanently injured by a botched circumcision.
Mogen Clamp Injuries
Lawsuits arise from injuries sustained during circumcision procedures using the Mogen Clamp, a device known for its design flaws. These lawsuits typically involve cases of penile amputation or other severe injuries such as:
- Nerve damage
- Urinary tract damages
- Deformities
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Wound infections
Causes
A previous lawsuit alleges that the clamp’s design creates serious risks. First, the device lacks protection for the head of the penis. Second, the clamp doesn’t allow the physician to see the head while cutting the foreskin.
Lawsuit for Circumcision Negligence
The damage a negligent circumcision can have on a child’s life is almost incalculable. Whether the patient suffered from a total amputation or not, the future medical bills for immediate surgeries and lifelong issues are immense. Additionally, a person must go through his whole life with pain and suffering, both physical and emotional. For this reason, a child who is victimized by this clamp must be compensated appropriately. In Mogen Clamp lawsuits, one may recover damages for:
- Physical Pain: Ongoing discomfort or pain from the injury.
- Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, or trauma resulting from the injury.
- Medical Expenses: Costs for surgeries, treatments, and rehabilitation.
- Lost Wages: Income lost due to the inability to work during recovery.
- Reduced Quality of Life: Impact on your daily activities and overall well-being.
Our attorneys work diligently to ensure that all these factors are considered when seeking compensation for your injuries.
