Lack of Proper Patient Consent
Informed consent is a fundamental patient right, requiring healthcare providers to fully disclose the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a treatment or procedure. Failure to obtain informed consent undermines patient autonomy and can lead to unexpected complications and outcomes. Patients who undergo procedures without being adequately informed may suffer physical, emotional, and financial harm. Our firm is dedicated to defending the rights of patients who have been subjected to medical procedures without informed consent, ensuring they receive justice and appropriate compensation.
