Legal Issues in Clinical Trial Injury Cases
When someone is injured during a clinical trial, two issues are usually raised:

Was there something wrong with the clinical trial processes?
Was there informed consent?

Sometimes the people conducting a clinical trial are negligent in carrying out the research, for example medical procedures could have been done incorrectly. Sometimes the nature of the research itself was such that it was inevitable that someone would be injured.

Often someone with a clinical trial injury did not give informed consent to participation in the clinical trial or to one aspect of the clinical trial. Read more about informed consent to a clinical trial.

Possible causes of action that can arise from negligent medical treatment or lack of informed consent include:

Assault and Battery
Breach of the Right to Dignity
Clinical Negligence
Scientific Fraud
Wrongful Death
