HIPAA violations include a $50,000 fine.
Luckily for him he can present an exact figure. There was a contract offer from before he blew up his hand, and there’s the contract he’s under. And in the end there’s always punitive damages.
We did NOT already know he blew off his finger. There were RUMORS but until they got a hold of the medical they were just rumors not known facts. He obviously was damaged.
..........not trying to argue with you but you inadvertently bring up another potential “legal” road block for him. That road block is a little word called “causation’. In other words, did ESPN publishing the med records “cause” him to lose money on contract negotiations?
I think you have a good point on the fine. I did not know that but WHO would get the fine? Probably the government.
