Failure to warn
If the patient can successfully show that the medical practitioner treating the patient failed to warn the patient about the risks of the treatment and the treatment causes injury to the patient, the patient may be able to recover damages from the medical practitioner concerned. However, the patient should be able to prove that the injury was a known risk of the treatment procedure used, that the risk was not insignificant, that the medical practitioner failed to warn the patient about the risk and that if the medical practitioner had warned the patient, the patient would not have agreed to the treatment procedure.
