IN a case that furthered the definition of "health care providers," a 2nd Appellate District judge in L.A. has ruled against a couple that sued doctors at a local sperm bank.
The health care classification is key in determining the level of punitive damages a plaintiff can receive when suing an entity or doctor.
The case, brought against California Cryobank Inc., a Los Angeles sperm and blood bank, is the first to clarify whether that business, and the doctors who work in it, are considered health care providers.
