It is the doctor’s responsibility to ensure that patients are fully informed about the medical care they receive—both the good and the bad. This is what makes informed consent violations a form of medical malpractice.

When doctors do not provide enough information to adequately inform their patients about medical treatments and cause harm to those patients, they should be held accountable. Fieger Law has been fighting for the injured and victimized since 1964.

Liability & Informed Consent

The purpose of informed consent is to respect patient decisions regarding their own body. If a doctor fails to obtain this informed content, they have committed a crime and has liability for medical malpractice. This is because the practitioner didn’t provide the patient with adequate information.
