Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts
Sperm Donor Fraud
I purchased sperm from a sperm bank in 2000 and at the time was told that the donor was very good looking and that he was a well respected doctor and that he was willing to have contact with offspring. His and his family's medical record was impeccable. Everything was a lie! I've traced him and he is ugly, he'd been struck off as a doctor and he had apparently never agreed to be known. My kids also have lots of genetic problems and him and his family have a seriously problematic health history. I would never have conceived my kids on the true facts. I feel raped, violated and I've suffered serious depression as a consequence. What rights do I have?

Re: Sperm Donor Fraud
Sounds like you may have a good case to sue the sperm bank... I will need to see the contract you entered into with the company. Contact me.
Re: Sperm Donor Fraud
I agree with attorney Weicker. Depending on the details of your case, it sounds like you have a good case against the sperm bank for fraud, breach of contract, and emotional distress, among other things.
Please contact me if you would like a consultation and a review of the facts of your case.

I would add just one more thing for you to consider. In the agreement or the package of documents that you received, there should be some disclaimers or waivers. These usually talk about what you are being promised. It describes your rights, and may even contain a waiver of liability. These may even suggest that any representation should not be relied upon. It may also limit your right of action, or even agree to mediation or arbitration.
Moreover, there is a statute of limitation for tort or contract action. All of these, at a minimum, must be taken into account, to see what your rights are and what remedies you may have.
Until these matters are analyzed no one can tell you or should tell you if you have a good case, a bad case, or any case at all.
Should you have any questions, you can contact me.
