Case Overview

On October 18, 2022, Asher Hoffman filed a medical malpractice lawsuit in the Superior Court of Connecticut. He named Dr. Jeremy Kaufman, Yale New Haven Health Services Corporation, and Northeast Medical Group, Inc. as defendants. A board-certified urologist provided expert opinions to support the allegations of medical negligence.

Medical Consultation and Alleged Negligence

On February 3, 2022, Hoffman visited Kaufman at Yale New Haven Health’s Trumbull office. He reported experiencing pain and swelling in his left testicle for the past 24 hours. Kaufman examined him but did not order an ultrasound. The complaint alleged that Kaufman failed to consider testicular torsion or conduct a proper differential diagnosis. As a result, no additional diagnostic steps were taken that day.

Resulting Harm

Hoffman later underwent a left orchiectomy, the surgical removal of his left testicle. According to the complaint, he endured ongoing physical pain and emotional distress. The expert opinion submitted with the lawsuit directly linked these injuries to the delay in diagnosing testicular torsion.
