The Connecticut Supreme Court upheld a $34 million award in a medical malpractice case against the University of Connecticut Health Center in an action where an insemination went wrong and caused a high-risk pregnancy and severe health issues.

The plaintiffs—husband and wife Aaron Lynch and Jean-Marie Monroe-Lynch, as individuals and representatives of their minor son and the estate of their daughter—sued UConn Health, which is funded by taxpayers and the university’s financial endowment.
