Failed IVF Treatment Malpractice in Turkey

Failed IVF treatment malpractice is one of the most emotionally and legally complex forms of medical negligence. IVF (in-vitro fertilization) gives hope to many couples struggling with infertility, but when the procedure fails due to negligence, it can cause deep emotional, physical, and financial damage.

In this guide, we explain what counts as IVF malpractice, the legal process in Turkey, and how Oran Partners—Turkey’s leading medical malpractice law firm—can help you seek justice.

What Is Failed IVF Treatment Malpractice?

Not every failed IVF cycle is medical malpractice. However, if the procedure fails because of errors, mismanagement, or lack of proper care, the fertility clinic or doctor may be legally responsible.

Common examples of IVF negligence:

Embryo mix-up or mislabeling
Using the wrong sperm or egg samples
Implanting a damaged embryo
Poor embryo transfer technique
Failing to detect treatable fertility issues
No informed consent before procedures

If your IVF failure involved any of the above, you may have a valid failed IVF treatment malpractice case.

When a Failed IVF Becomes a Legal Case

To prove IVF malpractice in Turkey, four legal elements must be met:

Duty of care – The fertility provider had a legal responsibility to treat you according to medical standards.
Breach of duty – The clinic failed to meet those standards (e.g., mixing up embryos).
Causation – The failure or harm was a direct result of that breach.
Damages – You suffered emotional, physical, or financial harm as a result.

Legal Challenges in IVF Malpractice Claims

Even if you suspect malpractice, proving it can be difficult:

IVF treatments don’t guarantee success, which providers often use as a defense.
Fertility clinics may limit access to detailed medical records.
Medical terms, procedures, and lab processes require expert interpretation.
Emotional trauma can cloud timelines and evidence.

This is why working with a law firm experienced in failed IVF treatment malpractice cases is crucial.

What Compensation Can You Claim?

If malpractice is proven, you may be eligible for:

Reimbursement of IVF costs and medical expenses
Future treatment or fertility preservation
Emotional distress and trauma
Wrongful birth claims, if the embryo was not yours

Don’t Delay – Time Limits Apply

In Turkey, the timeframe for initiating a medical malpractice claim depends on the nature of the procedure and the details of each case. As a general guideline:

• Claims involving aesthetic procedures are subject to a 5-year limitation period.

•Cases related to medical treatments or surgeries typically fall within a 2 to 8-year window, depending on the situation and applicable legal rules.

These time limits are not always clear-cut. Factors such as the date the harm was identified or whether the case includes criminal misconduct can influence the applicable deadlines.
