What are my rights if I have signed a waiver of liability forms?
If you, or your loved one who was injured, sign a waiver of liability form, then the California doctors or the Los Angeles hosptal will not have to pay you for your injuries. Now, while this is the case, if the doctor was grossly negligent or failed to provide you with the proper standard of care, then you must contact our Los Angeles Medical Malpractice Lawyer for a free consultation to discuss the events of your particular case – as you may still be able to recover for your serious injuries. For example, if you were to have your left arm operated on, you would generally sign a waiver which describes the possible side-effects or dangers which could result from such an operation, such as an infection on your left arm. However, if upon recovering from the operation, you observe that your RIGHT arm, not your left arm, was operated on, then you would most likely be able to sue and recover damages for the doctor’s negligence.
