It’s not uncommon for us to hear “I can’t believe a professional athlete gave me an std!” and one of the greatest issues for those who have been transmitted by a professional athlete is the violation of trust. Our clients looked up to this person. They seem larger than life and carry immense professional, media and financial obligations. What should you do if you receive herpes, HPV, HIV or any form of STD from a professional athlete? My name is Rivers Morrell and I have more than 40 years of experience as a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, Orange County or anywhere in California. Knowingly transmitting an STD to another person without warning them in advance of intimate contact is illegal in California. A person who knows they have an STD and enters into an intimate relationship without warning their partner they have an STD in advance of contact exposes them to financial damages under California’s civil law.
It is unfortunate how often someone must say to themselves “I can’t believe a professional athlete gave me an STD!” and how powerless these people often feel. It is not uncommon in these cases for the athlete to attempt to subtly intimidate or threaten our clients when they first discussed the issue. “It’s your word against mine.” “No one will believe someone like you.” “You probably got it from someone else.” “I have the best lawyers money can buy, and if you try anything they’ll destroy you.” Don’t believe a word of it. It simply isn’t true.
I invite you to review a video with two of our former STD transmission clients and listen to their own experiences. You can hold a professional athlete responsible and financially accountable for transmitting an STD without warning you. I invite you to contact me or call me personally for a private, confidential and free consultation at (949)305-1400. I understand what you’re going through because I have helped several people just like you to regain their power and hold the person who transmitted them financially accountable. You may be thinking “I can’t believe a professional athlete gave me an STD” today. There is hope. There is help. I have the power, experience and a proven track record of success in these cases to help you.
