Informed consent is a legal requirement that healthcare providers must follow to ensure patients are fully informed of the risks and benefits of a medical treatment or procedure. Signing an informed consent form does not mean that the healthcare provider is free from liability in the event of an adverse outcome. If you signed an informed consent form but the procedure goes wrong, you may still be able to sue for medical malpractice if the healthcare provider did not meet the standard of care. In other words, if the healthcare provider did not provide the level of care that a reasonable healthcare provider would have provided under similar circumstances, and this resulted in harm or injury to you, you may be able to recover damages through a medical malpractice lawsuit. It is important to note that signing an informed consent form does not mean that you waive your right to sue for medical malpractice. Informed consent simply means that you were made aware of the potential risks and benefits of the procedure and agreed to undergo it. It does not absolve the healthcare provider of liability if they were negligent in performing the procedure. If you believe that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your legal options.
