New York law states that physicians and other healthcare employees must attain the consent of all patients before certain medical procedures are conducted. When a patient signs a consent form, he or she is acknowledging that they are aware of and approve of the medical procedure that the doctor or surgeon will be performing. It is illegal for a healthcare professional to conduct certain medical procedures on a patient without the written consent of the patient.

The reason that informed consent is so critical is because this is when the patient is notified about the specifics of the procedure. This includes information about why the procedure has been recommended, other options and alternatives, and any side effects or health risks that are involved. These factors will help the patient decide whether or not they want to undergo the medical treatment. When a client is denied this important information, he or she has not been given the chance to make an informed decision; therefore placing them at risk for complications.

If you have suffered from surgical errors or other adverse reactions because your physician did not inform you about your medical procedure, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your injuries. Please contact an informed consent lawyer at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro to discuss your case.
