Class action left handed lawsuit?
<p>Left or right hand dominance is congenital. Suppose a child incurred a disorder such as dyslexia from being taught to use the non-dominant hand (as many have been due to the lack of left handed equipment, or teacher preference for conformity). Who would be responsible for the malpractice?</p>

<p>The comments in <a href="https://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/being-lh/children/changing-left-to-right.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> suggest many children were negatively affected from this. Do any of them have a legal case?</p>

<p>(Notice there are a few left handed desks on the far left in <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiFn7Pyw8LjAhUGQq0KHTBtC6YQjhx6BAgBEAM&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.change.org%2Fp%2Fnational-school-national-school-boards-association-state-board-of-education-promote-necessary-left-handed-desks-in-every-college-classroom&amp;psig=AOvVaw0ggU3inKChtOwLIoNKYYiK&amp;ust=1563678814780789" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this picture</a>.  Ideally I think they should not isolate the left-handed people on the edge of the classroom.)</p>

  <p>Can children that are force to write with the wrong hand that has developed a major disorder bring suit for malpractice?</p>
</blockquote>

<p>That would be an unfounded and futile claim. The plaintiff would have a very hard time proving that his alleged disorder originated from being forced to write with the wrong hand.</p>

<p>Even <em>if</em> an expert witness lent himself to support plaintiff's claim, it will always be easier for the defendant to outweigh that testimony by presenting abundant evidence that is more credible. And that is a big <em>if</em> because plaintiff's expert witness has so much to lose in terms of credentials &amp; qualifications by endorsing such a bizarre diagnosis.</p>
