REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS

In 2014, Hector won a lawsuit against an international insurer, assuring his client that the insurer company would respect the original contractual conditions of his life insurance, due to the fact that the insurer increased the value of the annual premium in violation of the consumer rights by 1000%; achieving with the sentence that the insurer limits the increase of the premium according to the national consumer price index. 

 

In the same way, another representative case, was an ordinary civil trial in which an European Clinic for Assisted Reproduction (client) was sued for non-economic damages for an alleged heterotopic pregnancy (when an embryo coincides in time intrauterine and another extrauterine) caused to the patient, demonstrating in the trial that said circumstance was an inherent risk to the procedure itself and of which the patient had previously been notified, in addition to the fact that there was evidence in the clinical file that the patient had only had one embryo implanted, also proving with international literature that the only embryo implanted in the patient could have divided, hence the average responsibility (medical care) and the Lex Artis Ad Doc had been met, so the accusation of medical responsibility was inadmissible.
