Pre-Purchase Disputes
Client: A Purchaser of a Show Horse
Our client purchased an American Saddlebred show horse in reliance upon a pre-purchase examination performed by a local veterinarian. The examination failed to note navicular cysts in both front feet despite the cysts being visible on radiographs taken during the exam. The horse became chronically lame and required management for the rest of his life. We assisted our client in submitting a claim to veterinarian’s malpractice insurer and in negotiating a settlement without the need for litigation.
