Lee Weatherly secured summary judgment for a Columbia, South Carolina Ob-Gyn.  Plaintiff alleged that the Richland County Ob-Gyn was negligent in his performance of a sterilization procedure in 2015.  Plaintiff alleged that he negligently performed an irreversible salpingectomy when what she actually wanted was a reversal tubal ligation.   Despite records indicating that Plaintiff knew the procedure to be preformed was not reversible, she claimed she first learned of its performance when attempting to have the procedure reversed eight years later.  She then filed suit one year later.  However, the Court found that the claim was barred by South Carolina’s Statute of Repose.  Therefore, the matter was dismissed with prejudice and the claims were dismissed as a matter of law.
