A quick definition of wrongful-conception action:

A wrongful-conception action, also known as a wrongful-pregnancy action, is a type of lawsuit that a parent can bring to seek damages when a pregnancy occurs after a failed sterilization. This means that the parent did not intend to become pregnant and may have taken steps to prevent it, but the sterilization procedure was not successful.

A more thorough explanation:

A wrongful-conception action is a type of lawsuit where a parent sues for damages resulting from a pregnancy that occurred despite a failed sterilization procedure. It is also known as a wrongful-pregnancy action.

For example, if a woman undergoes a sterilization procedure but becomes pregnant due to a medical error, she may file a wrongful-conception action against the doctor or hospital responsible for the mistake. The damages sought may include the cost of the pregnancy and childbirth, as well as any emotional distress or loss of income resulting from the unplanned pregnancy.

Another example is if a couple uses contraception but the method fails, resulting in an unintended pregnancy. They may file a wrongful-conception action against the manufacturer of the contraceptive product if it can be proven that the failure was due to a defect in the product.

These examples illustrate how a wrongful-conception action can arise from a failure of medical procedures or products, leading to an unplanned pregnancy and resulting damages for the parents.
