Law Woman who sued mom’s doctor claiming she never should have been born wins millions

[2fast2see]

A star showjumper who sued her mom’s doctor, claiming she should never have been born, has won the right to millions in damages.

Evie Toombes launched the landmark “wrongful conception” case against the GP as she suffers from spina bifida and sometimes spends 24 hours a day connected to tubes.

The 20-year-old’s “wrongful conception” claim saw her take Dr. Philip Mitchell to court over his failure to advise her mother to take vital supplements before getting pregnant.

She alleged that had the medic told her mom, Caroline, that she needed to take folic acid to minimize the risk of spina bifida affecting her baby, she would have put off conception.

This in turn would have meant Evie would never have been born at all.

And in a unique ruling at London’s High Court today, Judge Rosalind Coe QC backed Evie’s case and awarded her the right to a huge compensation payout.

That's fucked up. But hey, English courts are already fucked up, so no surprise here.

 

[BIKES!]

What would or can she even do with the money?

 

[PhitePhan]

That’s a weird way to frame a case of medical negligence, which is what this case is ultimately alleging.

i dont see the problem. People already sue over everything, this is just another item on the list.

Clown world. That you can sue your mom's doctor for your mom's bad genetics and failure to eat the right nutrition.

The West is done.

According to her own website, Evie describes her motto in life as: “Find a way, not an excuse.”

Seems like she turned lemons into lemonade.

Good for her.

Since spinach is a natural source of folic acid, she should sue Popeye too.

she should win doctor assisted suicide....I mean, that is the only reparations for a case like this

 

[Plissken]

Well, by that same token that means she should have never won the money. I smell the perfect plan to counter sue.

The worst part is if they call themselves athletes. No you're not.

Gold plated leg braces baby!

 

[Lord Coke]

What exactly is wrong with her? If she can go the horse thing and she is pretty hot so what's her disease do to her?

I'd have to see where those tubes were connected first...

Do you think the horse does all the work? Maybe you can compare her more to an archer than a gymnast but she's has to be in shape too.
