Transfusion-Associated AIDS

Description
Reviews

Transfusion-Associated AIDS is the most complete summary of the law, tactics, and pleadings regarding transfusion-associated AIDS, infection liability, and other AIDS-related tort issues ever published. Written by Robert K. Jenner — who has represented many clients with HIV — this 165-page manual consolidates all the essential reference information attorneys need in one convenient text.

Transfusion-associated AIDS litigation is particularly complex due to inconsistent published outcomes, confidential settlements, and the difficulty of locating comprehensive case law. This book provides a representative sampling of case citations and medical literature references to help attorneys prepare their cases efficiently.
