STD Transmission

Missouri Lawyer Dealing with STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) Lawsuits

In 2000, attorney Dan Pingelton, of the Pingelton Law Firm, convinced the Missouri Court of Appeals that an unmarried person should recover damages after being infected with an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease). This case set a new precedent, and Mr. Pingelton is now sought after by attorneys and their clients across the nation with STD transmission cases.

There are many factors to consider in an STD transmission case. To have a valid claim, an attorney must prove that the person accused of transmitting the disease knew that he or she had the disease. The specific disease involved is also important: transmitting the HIV (AIDS) virus knowingly is a felony, and herpes, as an incurable, lifelong condition, is also grounds for a suit. However, many curable STDs, such as gonorrhea or syphilis, may not warrant a lawsuit. (For more information, please visit our STD Transmission FAQ.)
