Before a patient signs a consent form, your healthcare team is required to explain the procedure in-depth, including any and all risks associated with the surgery, and any consequences of not having the surgery. Whether you signed a consent form or not, your legal team could prove that your physician misrepresented failed to inform you of the risks before the surgery. In these cases, your consent form may not be valid.
