Yes, it is still possible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against a negligent health care professional even if you have signed a medical release form. It should be noted that patients are required to sign a release form or waiver before undergoing any medical procedure. However, signing this form does not give medical professionals the license to perform their duties below an acceptable standard.
