Wrongful Life Action in Medical Malpractice Cases
Wrongful life claims can be decided as medical malpractice cases based on the notion that negligent information or treatment was given to the parents of the yet-to-be-born child. However, it is important to note that wrongful life claims are hard to pursue in court as the basis of the injury claimed is not the birth defect but the life itself and there is no legally established right to not be born.
