LACK OF INFORMED CONSENT

Doctors are responsible for informing patients of the risks and benefits involved in the procedures they intend to perform. This is known as the doctrine of informed consent. Under this doctrine, patients and doctors should make decisions together in order to find the right method of treatment for a given ailment. Unfortunately, some doctors fail to take this important measure, and it is innocent patients who must pay the price.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm as a result of a medical professional’s negligence, it is time to speak to an attorney. Taking legal action against a negligent doctor can not only result in receiving the financial compensation you deserve, but may also help prevent others from being harmed in the future. Contact the St. Louis medical malpractice lawyers of the Finney Law Office today at 314-646-0300 for a free consultation.

Understanding Informed Consent

The doctrine of informed consent helps ensure that patients understand the potential risks and benefits of medical procedures. The following information should be described in detail to a patient or his or her loved ones before a procedure is performed:

  • Nature of health problem
  • Reason for procedure
  • Side effects of procedure
  • Alternatives to procedure
  • Recovery time and potential complications

If a medical professional failed to inform you of the details of your procedure and obtain your consent, you may be entitled to compensation for any harm you suffer as a result.

Contact Us

If you or someone you love has suffered unnecessary harm due to the actions of a reckless medical professional, you deserve justice. Contact the St. Louis lack of informed consent lawyers at Finney Law Office today at 314-646-0300 for a free case evaluation.
