Types of Medical Malpractice Compensation
Some states have caps on the amount of damages that the victim of medical malpractice can be awarded. These caps usually cover specific, quantifiable losses such as medical bills or lost wage.
However medical malpractice cases typically involve non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The experienced lawyers at Sobo & Sobo will help you to build a case for compensation in the following areas.
Potential loss of earnings
You may be able to claim damages for lost earnings if the injury was caused by medical negligence and impacts your ability to earn income. It isn't easy to prove these losses. You must prove the doctor's negligence caused your injuries directly, and not only indirectly. This can be difficult, especially if the doctor did not recognize or treat the presence of a medical condition prior to it.
You may be legally entitled to both economic and non-economic damages based on the nature of the negligence. Non-economic damages are determined by the effect of the injuries on your quality of life or life. Your attorney will make use of expert testimony charts, graphs, and graphs to show the impact of negligence.
In certain instances the medical error could be so severe that you may be able to claim punitive damages. They are designed to penalize the healthcare provider for their outrageous behaviour. This type of damages award is not often seen, but it may be awarded when the healthcare provider was acting with malice or irresponsibility.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are costly to pursue. There are court filing fees, medical records and other documentation costs that add up quickly. Your lawyer will also need to engage experts to analyze your case and determine whether medical professionals acted in breach of their obligations to you.
Permanent Disability
Medical malpractice cases can be a bit complicated and can involve a variety of types of damages. Compensation can cover expenses such as future medical procedures, ongoing treatment and treatment as well as lost wages in the event that an injury caused someone to be unable to work. It may also cover other damages that are not economic, such as pain and suffering.
Non-economic damages are difficult to quantify, but can include any decrease in the quality of life. They can also include emotional and psychological distress. The lawyer representing the claimant will rely on the testimony of friends and family to assist jurors in understanding how the injury had on the victim's daily life.
A good NYC medical malpractice lawyer will carefully review the evidence to determine the worth of an action. This includes a look at the medical malpractice statute of limitations which imposes a time limit on how long after an accident an individual plaintiff can make a claim.
The value of a medical malpractice claim will depend on the severity of the injury as well as the severity of the injury, with larger settlement amounts tend to be reserved for more severe injuries. For instance, a physician might have misdiagnosed patients suffering from a condition such as cancer, which can be life-threatening. The most serious injuries are also more likely to cause permanent disability, which increases the cost of a claim.
Pain and Suffering
Victims of medical malpractice can also seek compensation for physical pain they've suffered as a consequence of the negligence of a physician. Physical pain can be caused by an injury, such as broken bones and can also cause scarring as well as the inability of sleeping or exercise as well as loss of sexual activity and other injuries that impact the victim's life quality.
The psychological pain and suffering of patients can also be a component of the compensation given to victims of medical negligence. Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be incredibly physically and mentally limiting, and can trigger physical pain as well. Additionally the loss of mental health may also impact a victim's ability to maintain healthy relationships, and impact their general quality of life.
Damages are generally classified into two categories that are: economic or "special" damages that are based on calculable financial losses and general "non-economic" damages such as pain and suffering. It isn't always easy to determine the proper amount of non-economic damages as they are not easily quantifiable in dollars.
There are many ways to calculate the value of an award for pain and suffering, for instance using a multiplier. This method is where you add all the damages in a single calculation and then multiplies the number by a specific amount between 1.5 and 5. Certain states have caps on these kinds of awards, however in most instances, judges cannot overturn a jury's decision.
Loss of future earnings
Medical malpractice victims are entitled to a variety of damages including future earnings loss. This is the amount that a victim could have earned had they been able to work at their previous job or if a job was available that suited their condition. This is a complex type of damage that usually requires the help of an expert economist to determine.
Lost earnings calculations are simple when the victim is earning an hourly wage. An attorney can multiply an individual's hourly rate by number of hours they didn't work to find the total amount of lost wages. A person who worked on a salaried job will need to consider the length of time they were unable to work, as well as their salary and benefits.
While the process of calculating lost income is relatively simple, future losses can be more complex. The attorney will have to take into account the cost of any future treatment as well as the expenses that can be reasonably anticipated due to the condition of the patient.
