If you have undergone any type of treatment at a medical office or hospital, you have likely signed a consent form. Many patients incorrectly assume that this protects the doctor in case anything goes wrong. However, this is not completely true. The doctor still has a duty to meet professional medical standards. If a healthcare provider made a mistake that led to your injuries, you may still have the right to file a medical malpractice case. To learn more about your rights and how they relate to medical consent forms, contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
