Fertility Negligence Lawyers

At Gluckstein Lawyers, we understand that fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), are an extremely personal and sensitive process and come with a lot of expectations and hope. When medical malpractice disrupts this process, it can be devastating, both emotionally and physically, and have life-altering consequences. Our team is here to provide compassionate and experienced legal guidance to individuals and families who have been impacted by fertility-related medical errors.

Why Do People Use IVF?

With advancements in technology, IVF has become an important tool to assist some individuals and couples with starting a family. Despite being a miracle for many families, the process can also be extremely draining both emotionally and financially.

The increased use of fertility treatments comes with a higher risk of errors caused by medical negligence, which can leave families vulnerable in what should be a positive and hopeful experience. This is particularly true given the lack of regulation and licensing in Ontario.

What Are Some Typical Fertility Errors?

Fertility treatments require high levels of precision, due care, and checks and balances. Unfortunately, reckless conduct, inattention or lack of protocols can lead to serious consequences. Some examples of fertility errors include:

• Mishandling/misuse of Genetic Material: Mislabeling or mishandling of eggs, sperm, or embryos.
• Laboratory Complications: Issues faced in the lab, such as sample contamination or poor storage conditions for genetic material.
• Failure to Diagnose or Treat Underlying Conditions: Neglecting critical health considerations that can affect a patient's fertility success or overall well-being.
• Incorrect Treatment Protocols: Prescribing inappropriate medications, doses, or treatment plans.
• Procedural Mistakes: Embryo transfer or egg retrieval errors that can lead to physical harm or reduce the chances of success.

What Are Some Injuries Resulting from Fertility Errors?

Medical errors during fertility treatment can lead to physical, emotional, and financial devastation. Some potential consequences include:

• Loss of Viable Embryos: Errors in handling embryos can result in the loss of a chance for conception.
• Physical Injuries: Complications from incorrectly performed procedures, e.g., infections, internal damage, or hormonal imbalances.
• Psychological Damage: Distress, stress, and depression resulting from failed treatments or mistakes.
• Incorrect Conception or Birth: Mistakes that result in embryos being implanted with unintended genetic or physical traits.
• Missed Fertility Opportunities: Mistakes can forever affect the chance of becoming pregnant.
