A man has filed a lawsuit against a U.S. fertility clinic in negligence for mental and economic injuries claiming that the clinic used his stolen sperm for his ex-girlfriend’s fertility treatments.
A personal injury is legally defined as an injury to the body, mind or emotions due to the negligence of another person. Over the last 25 years, John F. Kennedy, accident attorney Wheaton MD specialist knows from working with his accident injury clients that, “your life can be totally sidelined due to someone else’s negligence”.
This area of law is based on the principle that if your life is negatively changed because of the wrongdoing of another, fair compensation will help compensate for your losses.
Kennedy and his law partner Kathleen A. Dolan, lawyers Silver Spring, MD start by first helping clients to decide whether a case should go to litigation or settlement or go to trial.
Joe Pressil believes that his ex-girlfriend took his sperm from a used condom and brought it to the Advanced Fertility Center of Texas in Houston, where she received assisted conception and got pregnant with twins.
Pressil’s lawyer filed a lawsuit for the emotional and economic injuries his client suffered as result of the unexpected birth of the twins. In an article published in BioNews on this issue, Pressil is reported to declare that he was not ready to have a family and that artificial insemination are against his religious views. The economic injuries he is declaring are a result of the child support payments being claimed by mother of the twins.
As fertility clinics continue to integrate into U.S. culture, legal issues surrounding fertility treatments will continue to emerge. The absurd situation of Pressil’s legal case may be seen again and the associated legal complications will have to continue to be sorted out and examined.
