Daejeon Medical Malpractice Specialist Attorney Assistance Case | Won the Case and Obtained Tens of Millions of Won in Damages Through the Daejeon Medical Malpractice Specialist Attorney's Assistance

The client who came to a Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney was a female university student and an aspiring announcer preparing for employment.

Ahead of an interview, the client decided to undergo surgery on her aquiline nose, which had long been a source of insecurity.

However, after the plastic surgery performed to improve her image, she ended up with a large scar between her nose and the area above her upper lip.

The client visited the attending medical staff several times to inquire about removing the scar, but they only repeatedly answered that it would disappear over time.

When it did not improve even after several months, the client came to a Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney in order to file a damages lawsuit against the plastic surgery clinic in question.

Absent an emergency patient or other special circumstances, a physician, as a prerequisite to obtaining consent for performing a medical procedure that poses a risk to the body through surgery, has a duty to explain to the patient in advance, in light of the medical standards at the time, matters deemed reasonable regarding the symptoms of the disease, the content and necessity of the treatment method, the prognosis, and the anticipated risks and side effects to life and body, thereby giving the patient the opportunity to decide for themselves whether to undergo the surgery or take the medication (Supreme Court Judgment of February 13, 1998, Case No. 96Da7854).

A physician's duty to explain cannot be exempted merely on the ground that the likelihood of the anticipated risks and side effects to life and body occurring is slight, and where such risks and side effects are risks that typically arise from the treatment in question or are serious and irreversible, they become subject to the duty to explain notwithstanding the slimness of their likelihood of occurrence (Supreme Court Judgment of February 13, 1998, Case No. 96Da7854).

The Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney argued that the physician who performed the client's nose plastic surgery had breached the duty to explain.

Where the cosmetic plastic surgery to be performed cannot achieve all of the specific results the client desires but can achieve only part of them, the physician has a duty to explain such matters in detail so that the client can choose whether to undergo that surgery (Supreme Court Judgment of June 13, 2013, Damages).

The medical malpractice specialist Daejeon attorney emphasized that the attending physician had not specifically explained to the client that side effects such as scarring could arise from the nose plastic surgery.

The Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney argued that the client was suffering distress such as insomnia due to the negligent surgery performed by the plastic surgery clinic in question.

The client was an aspiring announcer with outstanding looks.

Due to the scar caused by the negligent surgery, which was completed in a far shorter time than expected, the client was engulfed in anxiety for several months and suffered from insomnia.

The Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney appealed to the situation in which the client could not even proceed to the announcer interview because of the permanent scar that developed after the nose plastic surgery.

The client who came to a Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney visited Daeryun's Daejeon office in order to file a damages lawsuit regarding a scar caused by a nose plastic surgery.

In response, Daeryun formed a case team of Daejeon attorneys with extensive experience in medical litigation and assisted with the overall procedures of the litigation.

As a result, the court accepted the Daejeon medical malpractice specialist attorney's arguments, and the client won the case and received tens of millions of won in damages.
