Malpractice Compensation
Malpractice compensation usually will cover future and past medical expenses. It also provides compensation for those who have lost their income and their inability to work.
Non-economic damages are more difficult to determine and include suffering, frustration and distress. They are typically calculated using a severity factor.
To establish malpractice the plaintiff must prove that the doctor was bound by an obligation to behave professionally, that this duty was breached and resulted in injury and led to certain damages.
Damages for Pain and Suffering
The pain and suffering of a victim is one of the most difficult damages to quantify in the case of medical malpractice because they can be very subjective. Contrary to financial losses, such as hospital bills and lost wages, which can easily be calculated to the penny, pain and suffering are the individual experiences of distress, pain and anguish that have been caused by the negligent malpractice incident.
The physical pain that comes with malpractice injuries can range from mild to severe. The psychological and emotional pain can be more than that. This could include anxiety and depression anxiety, fear, anger frustrated, irritability and other negative influences on one's life. The jury may take these into account when determining damages.
Examples of permanent impairments include disfigurement, scarring or loss of legs. These can make it difficult to exercise or maintain healthy relationships and perform everyday tasks. In certain situations the lawyer might want to seek expert witnesses who can discuss the impact on the quality of life for the victim.
Although it's hard to establish a precise dollar amount to these damages, a jury will rely on their knowledge, experience and common sense to determine the value. It is therefore important to have a skilled and experienced legal team working on your behalf to ensure that you can recover the full amount.
Damages for Economic Loss
Economic damages compensate a victim for the financial expenses associated with a medical malpractice injury. Typically, these costs include future and past medical expenses related to treatment or therapy for a malpractice-related injury. They also cover lost income if the injury prevents the person from working or reduces their earning capacity. The damages can be proved through documentation, like medical bills and wage records, but certain aspects that are economic losses may require expert testimony from an expert to prove.
A patient who has suffered severe physical injuries due to medical malpractice could require intensive long-term care. This could include surgery, medication and physical therapy. The cost of this treatment could be in the millions of dollars over the course of their lives.
In some cases, the negligence of medical professionals could lead to a lifelong disability, such as cerebral palsy or paralysis. This could result in costly ongoing treatment as well as a significant reduction in a patient's quality of life.
In some states there are limits on the amount victims of medical malpractice may receive as damages. In some courts, these limits have been declared unconstitutional as they limit the right of the injured party to pursue a fair legal remedy. New York does NOT impose damage caps. Victims can recover the entire amount of their losses in the past and the future if they win a lawsuit for malpractice.
Damages for non-economic losses
Certain injuries resulting from medical malpractice are more difficult to place in a dollar figure, such as suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Although these damages can be difficult to calculate but it is possible to do so by using witness testimony and expert financial analysis to support the claim.
Compensation also covers past and future medical costs. These can include hospital expenses home care, medical accessories, and more. Compensation can also cover future earnings and lost income if the injury affected the victim's ability to work.
In the calculation of damages, both a jury and the judge consider several factors. For example, if a medical error resulted in an injury that affects the quality of life of a victim, a jury and judge could award noneconomic damages due to this loss in quality of life. This can include the cost to hire someone to perform tasks that the injured person cannot perform, like cooking, cleaning, and caring for their children.
In some instances, a doctor's conduct may be so reckless or negligent that punitive damages may be appropriate. These are meant to penalize the defendant and communicate a clear message other health care professionals. This is usually limited to cases of gross negligence or gross disregard for patient safety.
Damages for wrongful death
The loss of a loved one because of medical negligence can create a lot of anxiety and financial hardship for family members. A representative may bring a lawsuit to recover damages for the deceased's funeral and medical expenses, costs out of pocket like home health equipment or nursing assistance as well as loss of future earnings, loss of chance of inheritance and much more. A plaintiff's lawyer may hire experts in economics to evaluate the deceased's life expectancy and calculate projected lost income.
Damages resulting from wrongful death include punitive and compensatory damages. Compensatory damage compensates victims for their out-of pocket losses and other damages that are easily quantifiable such as medical expenses and future medical expenses such as pain and suffering; mental anguish; and loss of consortium. Punitive damages are awarded to those who commit infractions that are egregious, such as leaving sponges in patients during surgery which require a second operation to remove.
A wrongful-death action could be filed as a part of an ongoing malpractice case or in conjunction with a survival action. To ensure that the plaintiff gets the full amount of damages, a wrongful death case requires an attorney with experience in medical malpractice cases. An experienced lawyer will review all the evidence and documents to determine what the victim may be entitled to. A lawyer who is experienced can present a persuasive argument to the jury, and ensure that all damages are included in the settlement or verdict.
