The couple filed this lawsuit in court.
Nowadays, people have started to be more aware about family planning. The situation is such that now people think of having only one or two children. This is the reason why couples resort to sterilization to avoid unwanted pregnancies. This is the safest and most effective way to avoid pregnancy. However, sometimes it happens that problems arise in this regard. A related matter is under discussion among these people. You’ll be surprised to know which one.
The case is from Minnesota, a couple who lives here have filed a lawsuit against a urology doctor. The woman says she became pregnant because of a hospital error. The husband alleges that a nurse at a urology office in Minnesota did not perform his sterilization correctly. Due to which his wife got pregnant unplanned and had to give birth to the child and now we want her to bear all the expenses of our child throughout his life.
What was the decision?
In the year 2023, the couple filed a case in court for unplanned pregnancy. According to court documents, the nurse who performed this surgery has since passed away. The same nurse had given erroneous information after Steven’s sterilization in 2018 that the procedure had been completed successfully. Only after which the couple now faces this unwanted pregnancy.
Apart from this, the couple said that they already have three children. We face many difficulties in their education. That’s why we decided to get sterilized. The couple also said that the sterilization report was absolutely correct. Then, almost four years later, in March 2023, Megan found out she was 15 weeks pregnant.
After hearing all of this, the judge ruled that the couple could not seek punitive damages from the hospital in this case because there was no evidence that the urology practice knew about or deliberately ignored this evidence because the nurse had died the previous year. in 2022.
