Knowingly transmitting HIV or the AIDS virus to a sexual partner without warning them in advance that you are a carrier or at risk is a civil code violation in California.  The recent public admission of Charlie Sheen has brought this back into the consciousness of Californians, and as an HIV transmission attorney and personal injury lawyer with more than 40 years of experience and several successful STD transmission cases, I can shed some light on the core legal issues.

If you have any STD – Hncluding HIV, AIDS, Herpes, Hepatitis C, or HPV – you are required by law to notify all potential partners prior to intimate contact.  The failure to do so opens a person to “civil” liabilities under California law, allowing a person who is infected to pursue appropriate financial “damages” including, but not limited to:

• All present and future related medical costs
• Prescription Drug Treatment Costs
• Emotional Counseling
• Loss of Income
• Impact of the STD on Your Social Life
• The Burden of Having to Carry and Deal with the STD

The reality of a civil case is there must be financial resources to pursue, otherwise the case may not be viable.  If the person who transmitted the disease is a person of prominence or wealth, we can and will hold them financially accountable for what has happened to you.

My name is Rivers Morrell, and I have worked with several STD clients over my years of experience, and I understand the emotional issues you must work through.  Many are torn between how they feel about the partner who transmitted the disease, and knowing they face a challenging road ahead.  There are moments of shame, despair, fear, anger and uncertainty.  As a successful HIV transmission attorney I can help you to work through this challenge, and help you to be in a much stronger position to handle the ramifications of HIV or an STD, and move forward with your life.

I invite you to contact my office and speak with me personally for a free, private and confidential consultation at (949)305-1400.  There is no cost to you out of pocket as I work on a contingency fee basis.
