Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New Jersey

My 15 frozen blastocysts were accidentally thawed and therefore had to be discarded as medical waste. These were my "children." I know it was an accident, but to what extent is the laboratory that froze these embryos responsible for assisting me financially with going through this process again? I feel it should be their responsibility 100% bc their insurance should have this covered. This is not only an expensive process, but it involves a lot physically and emotionally as well.
