California Woman Who Sued Plastic Surgeon Awarded for Leaked Photo of Breasts
A California woman who sued her plastic surgeon after photographs of her breasts surfaced on the internet has been awarded $18,000.
The Fresno Bee reported the woman was awarded the money on Monday by a Fresno County Superior Court jury.
She sought $300,000, contending that a Fresno surgeon was negligent and violated her duty to keep a patient’s medical information confidential.
The surgeon’s lawyer told the jury that the photos were mistakenly put on the internet and were taken down within a few days.
