Doctor admits negligence in $125,000 unplanned pregnancy claim
Unknown to the mother at the time, a tubal ligation procedure five years earlier had been unsuccessful
A mother who unexpectedly fell pregnant and gave birth years after undergoing an unsuccessful tubal ligation has been awarded more than $125,000 in damages.
A District Court of Western Australia judge ruled the woman was entitled to compensation for the costs of raising her son, her seventh child, after his birth in 2014.
