Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division's partial summary judgment granting the physicians immunity from liability for the incremental medical costs of the second child and remanded for trial. The Court held that the physicians owed a duty to the parents to disclose the diagnosis, breached that duty, and that the parents could recover the medical expenses attributable to the wrongful birth.
