According to copies of the original lawsuit, Tyrod Taylor is seeking at least $5 million after suffering a punctured lung while being treated for a rib injury.
According to the lawsuit, Taylor is suing the doctor and the institute that he ran.
The trial was moved to April because of the football season. The issue has been percolating since the lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in May 2021.
Taylor had a punctured lung when Gazzaniga tried to administer a pain-killing injection to his fractured ribs.
Taylor claims in the lawsuit that he suffered "severe physical pain resulting in hospitalization, physical therapy, emotional distress and other previous pain and suffering."
According to Taylor's attorneys, Gazzaniga's carelessness caused him to lose the starting quarterback position for the 2020 season.
He entered as a back-up quarterback when he came back to free agency. The economic difference between a starting quarterback's salary and a back-up quarterback salary is more than likely much larger. The exact amount of such past and future loss is unknown to (Taylor) at this time, and he will ask leave of this Court for permission to amend this Complaint to set forth the total amount when certain facts are known.
Taylor signed a two-year deal with the Giants in March of this year. He was the backup to Daniel Jones for the opener.
Taylor's attorneys claim that the quarterbackstituted a medical battery because he didn't have proper and accurate informed consent prior to the anesthesia injections.
The team that treated Herbert on Thursday night was a part of the training staff.
Herbert's representatives are expected to keep an eye on how the Chargers handle their starting quarterback as he deals with an injured throwing shoulder.
The team won't know if Herbert will practice next week until Wednesday. Next Sunday is the date of the game between the Bolts and the Jags.
Herbert started Los Angeles' remaining 15 games and set the NFL rookies record for touchdown passes, as Taylor did not play for the rest of the 2020 season after the rib injury and punctured lung.
After the 2020 season, Taylor joined the Texans on a one-year deal worth up to $12.5 million and began the season as Houston's starting quarterback, but he was hurt in Week 2 and missed the rest of the season. The Texans turned to Davis Mills as their starting quarterback for the rest of the season after Taylor came back from injury.
