A patient can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with a certain test or undergo a specific surgery only when they are fully informed of the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. This is especially true for experimental or other non-routine procedures. Care providers are obligated to ensure that patients understand the expected benefits of a procedure and the potential risks. If a patient is harmed due to a risk of an elective medical procedure which was known to the care provider but unknown to the patient, malpractice may have occurred.
At Kelly & Ignoffo Law Group we have the knowledge, resources and experience to pursue these cases and secure full compensation for our clients.
