Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Arizona
ex boyfriend
I dont know if this is the correct catagory. My question is I recently stopped seeing a man that during the time of our relationship infected me with
a veneral disease(uncurable)which could possibly cause
health problems in the future. I know this person infected me as I was seeing no one else at the time, when we met he denied having any std's. Do I have any
legal recourse or am I basically out of luck, would like some advice before consulting an attorney.

Re: ex boyfriend
You could have a cause of action against the former boyfriend for assault, assault/battery, deliberate infliction of emotional distress [depending upon whether or not he know he was an infectious carrier at the time] and other possible remedies.
Consult a personal injury lawyer in your town. Initial interviews/case evaluations are usually done at no cost - ask first.
