Song and Parikh Prevail on a Demurrer in Organ Donation Litigation

Jianlin Song (Partner-San Francisco) and Trishala Parikh (Associate-San Francisco) obtained dismissal with prejudice for two nationally recognized nonprofit eye bank clients on a demurrer in the Superior Court of Solana County, California. The case involved allegations of unauthorized organ donation arising from a highly sensitive end-of-life situation. The court sustained our demurrer in full, dismissing negligence claims against our clients without leave to amend and concluding that the plaintiffs could not state a viable cause of action as a matter of law. The plaintiff's motion for reconsideration was denied.
