Tygod suing the doctor who hastened Herbert’s ascension

[Kirby Jackson]

He should!! This is basically what medical malpractice is. It is textbook. This is a pretty easy, and well-deserved, check.

He would have to prove that he would have kept Herbert, the offensive rookie of the year in 2020, off the bench. 
 

 

TT was starting the game the day it happened and it certainly appeared that the plan was for him to start moving forward. For how long would likely have depended on his performance. How successful he’d have been is certainly debatable, but I don’t think there is any debate that it cost him his chance.

 

That doesn’t necessarily mean that his lawyers would clear the other legal hurdles and he’d win a judgement, but I think the insurance companies would prefer to settle if the number makes sense. Unless the insurance carrier lawyers think they have the most iron clad case they’d much rather come to something like a $2M settlement than take their chances with a jury decision.

 

As for the doctor’s insurance, he’s a team doctor working with athletes making tens of millions of dollars a year. No way he’s not carrying a huge amount of coverage. Hell, it would be a requirement of the team before a doc got near their players.

Legitimately not.
 

But unfortunately I’m not sure a jury wouldn’t feel the same as you.

It wasn't malpractice: it was a known complication of the procedure.

The team will say that their plan was for him to start off as the starter, but not necessarily remain the starter.   And again the fact that Herbert was voted offensive rookie of the year reveals that he didn't lose his starting job to some schlub.  Meanwhile he'd lost 2 other starting jobs previously.

I mean the doctor punctured his lung I'm shocked he didn't sue earlier.

everything about his career after Buffalo ends this debate.  He has routinely been replaced by rookies---this happened before the Chargers and after.

He's on his 5th team in 6 seasons. The Giants just handed him over 8 million (minimum). There must have been at least 4 other doctors that have ended his career "as a starting QB". lol

 

Defense expert will testify to the obvious:  subsequent chest xrays showed resolution of pneumothorax and he could have played at that point.

 

Charger official will testify to the obvious: even knowing that TT was ready to play, he was replaced by an an infinitely better QB. 

 

Anyone with internet access will testify to the obvious: TT lost his starting to a job to a rookie after injury Week 3 Cleveland and again, due to injury, to  rookie in Houston week 2.  He has never entered free agency as a starting QB.

 

good luck !

 

in repairing a rib injury should not have punctured a lung.  This was a doctor mistake and Tyrol has a right to sue over.

 

i had perforated lungs before.  This was an unnecessary complication.  It’s why DRs have malpractice insurance.

[billsfan1959]

He should sue the NFL for ruining his career by setting the 1st down marker at 10 yds past the line of scrimmage. If it would have been 9 yds he could have consitently achieved first downs in three plays with his 3 yard passes...

He wasn't repairing an injury.  As far I can tell it was a nerve block.  Tyrod could have simply refused and played without it. 

 

When you perforated lungs before, did you tell your patients it was an unnecessary complication and simply settled all your  lawsuits?

Chargers can’t be sued on this.

 

he’s justified to sue. Getting $5M…Thats nuts.  Hebert being drafted where he was ….he was going to play that  season.  That was a certainty unless Tyrol took them to some 1st place record into December….which was unlikely.

So you think a valid defense is that TT had the option to decline the procedure?  I promise you that it’s not.

im not a doctor. I had 2 superstructure times when I had perforated lungs in my 20s.

 

i had to go into the ICU each time for monitoring reasons.  
 

recovery was not a problem. It was not a long term season ender..but more of 2 game.

do you feel that all or any known complications should be sued over?

Of course it is.  It was an elective procedure, not an emergency.

 

  Unless TT can prove he was forced to have a procedure he did not agree to and did not consent to, then what is his case? How is it that you are able to "promise" us that you know the circumstances of him having this procedure?

mine occurred due to asthma from getting a bad chest cold.  Chest cold coughing induced a constant asthma attack that stressed the lungs.

 

the signature of this is feeling small size bubble wrap in cartalidge areas of the neck and ribs.

 

i feel he has a case on the lung.  But not $5M.  For a regular person this is something where medical costs are covered and the patient might get paid under $10K.

 

i wonder if he is using the same sleaze lawyer…..
