Types of IVF and fertility negligence compensation claims
We can help you if you have received negligent care in relation to the following:
- Embryo testing
- Artificial insemination
- In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ISI)
- Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PIGD)
- Surgical sperm retrieval
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Whether you have received treatment in a private clinic or via the NHS, we can also help you bring a claim if you have suffered:

- Reduced fertility due to surgical errors

- Delay in the diagnosis of a medical condition
Can I sue my IVF clinic?
If you believe that you or your partner have received inadequate care, that has resulted in suffering or loss, either from a private clinic or from the NHS, it may be possible to take legal action against them. Like with all medical negligence cases our solicitors, with the help of other experts, will look at your case in detail and will gather information from independent medical professionals. Once all this information is in place we can determine what care you should have received and what the future implications are for your health. From there we can determine the amount of compensation you may receive.
Who can claim compensation for negligent fertility treatment?
Typically, the person who is entitled to compensation as a result of negligent care is the person who has undergone the treatment. In rare cases, the child born from IVF treatment can also make a claim if they suffer any medical issues due to errors during the fertility treatment including if they inherit a genetic abnormality due to a donor not being adequately screened.
