Medical Malpractice Compensation

Medical errors are among the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. Anyone who has suffered harm from a health care provider could be entitled to compensation that is substantial.

Economic damages, also known as special damages, address the financial losses of a victim. These include past and future medical malpractice lawsuits expenses, lost income, and more.

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate you for any financial losses that result from your injury. This includes medical services already paid and future care required. They may also cover lost wages if your injuries stop you from working, and other financial losses documented.

Non-economic damages are harder to quantify and are not as tangible. They can include physical suffering and a decrease in your quality of life, or your emotional stress. Your lawyer can help to prove these losses with testimony from witnesses and expert financial analysts and other evidence such as medical documents and records of your injuries.

The first known case of medical malpractice was Stratton v. Swanlond in 1374, which laid the foundation for breach of duty between a physician and a patient. It was also the first medical malpractice case to decide to award damages to a victim.

A victim may be entitled to compensation for the duration of their life that cover the length of time from the time the incident was discovered up to the point of the time of death. These damages can include medical expenses and lost income as well as noneconomic damages like mental anguish, disfigurement or loss of enjoyment of living.

Other damages can be awarded in the event that a physician does not diagnose the problem or performs an unnecessary procedure. The court may award punitive damages if your doctor's negligence is particularly egregious. For instance that they have performed an unnecessary surgery to make money or for sexual pleasure.

In addition to the monetary compensation mentioned earlier, a court may provide compensation for the cost of any alternative treatment that might have been required but because of the medical negligence. This could have included a less invasive surgical procedure or alternative course of treatment that could have prevented your injuries.

Medical Malpractice Caps

As the number of malpractice claims increased, several states passed laws that limit damages in malpractice cases. These limits limit the amount of money you can receive from a jury when the claim is deemed excessive or unreasonable.

Most states limit both general and special damages. However, some places only restrict damages that are not economic. No matter the amount of caps, you will require compelling and solid evidence to win your medical malpractice case.
