If you can prove that your injuries occurred as a result of a medical worker’s negligence, you may look to obtain tens of thousands of dollars in compensation.

If the medical personnel fails to obtain a patient’s informed consent, it is a form of medical negligence and the patient will have the right to file medical malpractice.
