Wrongful Pregnancy

Wrongful Pregnancy is a type of medical malpractice case where a claim is made by the parents for damages arising from a negligent termination or sterilization procedure, and the subsequent birth of a child.

In wrongful pregnancy cases (also referred to as wrongful conception), the parents file a negligence action against the medical provider or facility for failing to perform a sterilization or pregnancy termination correctly, which resulted in the birth of a healthy, but unwanted child.

With a wrongful pregnancy action, a parent may be able to sue for damages on the basis of the cost of the unsuccessful procedure and any pain or suffering associated with the sterilization or pregnancy termination. The parents may also recover damages for the medical expenses, or any pain and suffering related to the pregnancy, the mother's lost wages due to the pregnancy, the husband's loss of consortium during the pregnancy, and the economic and emotional costs of rearing the child to from childhood to maturity.
