Did You Know?    
 
 
You still have rights even if you signed a consent form
A consent form does not give the health care provider a license to commit malpractice. While the execution of a typical consent form indicates acknowledgement of stated risks and complications associated with a given treatment or procedure, it does not relieve the health care provider from his or her duty of meeting the standard of care associated with such treatment or procedure.

 

One of the most frequent causes of wrongful death in New York is medical malpractice. Thousands die each year and this kind of wrongful death is not filed or goes unnoticed. Contact our New York medical malpractice lawyers if you think a relative or someone you know in has died as a result of medical malpractice in New York.
