Medical expenses
The cost of medical care to treat injuries is the most obvious. This category of damages has a cap set by state law, which is outlined in the liability insurance policy of a medical professional. Some states have also set up injured patient compensation funds in order to cover the perceived costs of litigation and to help health care providers cut their liability insurance premiums.
In addition to medical expenses In addition to medical expenses, victims are entitled to compensation for the other costs that are a result of negligence. These are known as economic or special damages. They cover the costs of any medical procedures (past and future) that are required to treat the injury that resulted from the negligence, as well being any lost earnings because of being unable to work due to the injury.
The damages for suffering and pain are typical in medical malpractice cases. This type of damage is a subjective one and can vary dramatically between different plaintiffs. This includes emotional distress, physical pain and other non-physical consequences of the mistake. For instance, a plaintiff might be compensated in the event that the doctor made a mistake that caused her to fail to attend a vital cancer screening.
In certain cases punitive damages can be given. These are designed to punish the doctor for egregious behavior, like leaving a dirty sponge inside the body of a patient after surgery.
Suffering and pain
In medical malpractice cases there is pain and suffering as an example of non-economic damages. The damages cover the physical and psychological trauma sufferers suffered because of the medical professional's negligence. The symptoms can be minor like anxiety or discomfort, or they may be more serious like a loss of pleasure in life or depression, embarrassment, or anxiety.
As it's hard to put an amount on suffering and pain, the jury instructions generally leave it up to jurors. They are able to use their judgment, background and experience to decide what they believe is fair and reasonable. In the end, the amounts that are awarded in malpractice cases differ greatly.
Your medical malpractice lawyer will help you prove the extent of your suffering by using evidence that is tangible. Images, Xrays, home movies, models, diagrams, and drawings could help a jury determine the extent of your injuries and understand how they have impacted your daily life.
If a negligent doctor caused the death of a victim family members can seek damages through the wrongful-death lawsuit or statutes. The laws governing wrongful death typically allow the spouse and children to claim the same amount of compensation they would have received if the patient had lived. Typically, however, the total amount of damages that a victim is able to collect is limited by a state's damage caps for pain and suffering. This is why it's important to have a knowledgeable medical malpractice law firm attorney on your side to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Loss of wages
If you have to miss work due to medical negligence you may be able to recover your lost wages. This includes your base pay bonus, commissions as well as benefits for employees, raises in pay and retirement fund contributions. Your lawyer will go through your past pay stubs to calculate your average earnings prior to your injury. You will after that, subtract your missed work to arrive at your total lost earnings. Your lawyer can also assist you in determining your future loss of earnings by using a present value calculation. This is a complex financial analysis that analyzes the effects of your injuries on your ability to work in the future, and it's generally performed by a specialist hired by your attorney.
In addition to reimbursing your economic losses, it is also possible to recover non-economic damages for the pain and suffering caused by the incident. The jury will determine the amount of compensation that is appropriate which may differ from case to case. Certain states set a maximum amount for these damages. However they have been ruled inconstitutional by numerous courts.
Seven-figure settlements usually result in serious permanent injuries or wrongful deaths caused by extreme healthcare neglect. High-value settlements may be granted for among other things, surgical mistakes which cause amputations, or brain injury to infants and mothers and also anesthesia errors that can cause comas. Punitive damages, designed to punish bad behavior could also be a possibility in certain cases.
Damages for future medical care
In a medical malpractice lawsuit, there are two types of damages that a plaintiff may seek: economic and non-economic damages. The former is based on calculable losses, like the future or past medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify, and includes pain and suffering, as well as loss of enjoyment of life. In a case of medical malpractice, the jury will need to hear testimony from experts in order to assess the kind of losses.
It is fairly easy to prove past medical expenses by providing actual bills sent to the injured person by their health care providers. The plaintiff's attorney will provide medical evidence to show the types of treatments that are likely to be required in the near future, and how much they will cost today. The amount of future medical treatment required can also be affected by the victim's age at the time of the malpractice.
Damages to future wages can be proven by demonstrating the impact of the injury on the patient's capacity to work and earning capacity in the future. This could be substantiated by expert testimony or reviewing similar cases from the past.
Pain and suffering is a larger category of damages that encompasses the physical and emotional pain and pain that patients suffer because of medical malpractice. This type of damages is typically based on the testimony of the victim and other witnesses, as well as evidence like photographs, videotapes and written reports.
