Minnesota Couple Sues Over Failed Vasectomy Leading to Unplanned Pregnancy

The couple claims medical malpractice after being misinformed about the vasectomy results, resulting in their fourth child's birth.

The lawsuit was filed by Steven and Megan Szlachtowski in 2023, accusing Minnesota Urology of negligence.
The couple alleges they were incorrectly informed that the vasectomy was successful, leading to a wrongful conception.
Megan Szlachtowski discovered she was 15 weeks pregnant in March 2023, four years after the procedure.
Judge ruled out punitive damages, but the couple seeks compensation for child-rearing costs and emotional distress.
The trial is set to determine if the couple is owed damages for the costs associated with raising their unplanned child.
