Can you sue for the transmission of a sexually transmitted disease (STD)? Yes, but the decision to proceed with a lawsuit for the wrongful infection of an STD must be made carefully after reviewing several issues with an attorney experienced in this area. The legal & non-legal considerations will vary with each particular case, but there are several factors that will always be considered.

Which STD infections are eligible for legal action?

In the past, individuals who were infected with an STD had limited rights. Today, an individual who has been infected with the following STDs can take legal action and seek compensation for medical costs, emotional distress, and other damages:

• Herpes
• Genital warts
• Syphilis
• Gonorrhea
• HIV
• Other STDs

What is the Statute of Limitations for STD cases?

Generally, for personal injury cases not resulting in death, the statute of limitations is five years. The tricky part is figuring out when the clock starts running. Generally, the period begins when the person damaged first learns of the injury.

Legal Damages

In cases of serious STDs, the victim may seek compensation for life-long medical treatment, all medication costs associated with treatment and care, expenses related to high risk pregnancy management, pain and suffering, emotional damages, and possibly even punitive damages.
