In a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, case ID 2024-26072 on April 23, 2024, plaintiff Jenna Frerichs is suing defendants Mark Sanders, M.D., and Mark S. Sanders, M.D., P.A. The lawsuit revolves around alleged medical negligence during an arthroscopic procedure performed by Dr. Sanders on Ms. Frerichs.
The plaintiff's lawyer argues that Dr. Sanders failed to perform the procedure correctly and subsequently misdiagnosed post-operative complications as part of the normal healing process. This alleged negligence resulted in a lateral femoral condyle defect in Ms. Frerichs' knee, which required multiple corrective surgeries.
The plaintiff seeks monetary relief between $250,000 and $1,000,000 for damages sustained due to the alleged negligence of Dr. Sanders and his professional association. These damages include pain management prescriptions and additional surgical procedures required to correct the defect caused by the initial operation.
