Did your Spanish clinic breach your IVF contract by using conventional IVF?

Question from Rinka, Did your Spanish clinic breach your IVF contract by using conventional IVF?

Answer from AI:

If you believe that a clinic in Spain used conventional IVF instead of ICSI, as agreed upon in your contract, this could constitute a breach of contract and potentially medical malpractice. Here’s how you can approach this situation:

Understanding Your Case

• Breach of Contract: The clinic may have failed to provide the agreed-upon service (ICSI), which could be a breach of contract.
• Medical Malpractice: If the clinic’s actions caused harm, this might also fall under medical malpractice.

Steps to Take

1. Gather Documentation: Collect all relevant documents, including the contract, invoices, communication records, and medical records. These will be essential for your case.

2. Find a Specialized Lawyer: Look for a lawyer or firm in Spain that specializes in medical malpractice and contract disputes. You can:

   • Ask for recommendations from trusted sources.
   • Check online directories or legal listings.
   • Contact the Spanish Bar Association (Colegio de Abogados) for a referral.

3. Consult with a Lawyer: When meeting with potential lawyers, discuss their experience with similar cases, their approach to your situation, possible outcomes, costs, and communication expectations.

Additional Considerations

• File a Complaint: Consider filing a complaint with the Spanish Medical Association (Organización Médica Colegial) for additional support.

Important Notes

• Legal Advice: While I can provide general information, consulting a qualified lawyer in Spain is crucial for personalized advice.
• Resources: For more information, visit the Spanish Ministry of Justice or the General Council of the Spanish Bar.

By following these steps, you can navigate your situation effectively and seek the appropriate legal recourse.
