Barragan v. Lopez
This action arises from plaintiffs being born prematurely, with cerebral palsy. Plaintiffs, through their guardian ad litem, filed a wrongful life lawsuit against Dr. Lopez, their mothers obstetrician/gynecologist (Ob/Gyn), claiming Dr. Lopez should have advised their mother that she had the right to abort her pregnancy.
After reviewing the expert declarations and other evidence submitted in support of and in opposition to Dr. Lopezs summary judgment motion, we affirm, finding it is undisputed that Dr. Lopez did not owe plaintiffs mother a duty to advise her of her right to an abortion. Court further reject plaintiffs other contentions as moot or lacking in merit.
