"Failure to Obtain Informed Consent
Before providing you with treatment, caregivers must obtain your informed consent. This means you must agree to undergo a particular procedure after you have been told about the process, the risks and the alternatives.
If a healthcare worker doesn’t go through the process of explaining things properly and getting your permission to proceed with treatment, this can give rise to a medical malpractice claim."
