Is the mere fact that you sign a consent form so that the doctor can perform surgery to get you better be a tool for the doctor to escape any liability? Does it give the doctor the legal ability to commit medical malpractice or negligence during the course of surgery?
You have filed a medical malpractice case in New York and your lawyer has just finished making his opening remarks at the beginning of trial. The judge after hearing the opening remarks says he is dismissing your case. Can the judge dismiss your case based on the opening remarks of you lawyer, even before the defense lawyer has had a chance to make his opening remarks?
You are in a New York hospital recuperating and you feel the doctor who treated you has caused you significant harm. If this doctor now comes and apologizes to you, then does that wash his hands of any legal obligations that could involve compensation for you, for the injuries and losses you have suffered?
What is Medical Malpractice?
