Medical Malpractice Compensation

Medical errors are one of the most frequent causes of injury and death in the United States. Those who have suffered harm from a healthcare professional may be entitled to a substantial amount of compensation.

Economic damages, also referred to as special damages, pay for the financial losses of a victim. These include past and foreseeable medical expenses, lost income, and more.

Economic Damages

Economic damages pay for any financial expenses incurred due to the injury, for example medical services that have already been paid and the future treatment that is necessary. They can also include lost earnings if the injuries keep you from working, and other financial losses documented.

Non-economic damages are harder to quantify and are not as tangible. These damages can include physical discomfort and pain and a loss in quality of life, or emotional stress. Your lawyer can help show these losses through expert financial analysts and witness testimony. Other evidence such as medical records and documents will also be considered, such as medical records.

The earliest documented case of medical Malpractice (Users.atw.Hu) was Stratton in v. Swanlond in 1374, which laid the foundation for breach of duty between a doctor and a patient. It was also the first medical malpractice lawsuit to award damages to a plaintiff.

A victim may be entitled to damages for survival, which cover the period of time after the malpractice occurred, up to the time of death. These damages could include the cost of medical treatment and loss of income as well as non-economic damages such as mental anguish, disfigurement or loss of enjoyment living.

Other damages could be available If a doctor fails to diagnose your condition or performs ineffective procedures. In addition, punitive damages may be awarded if your doctor's negligence is particularly severe. For example, if they perform unnecessary surgery to make money or for sexual pleasure.

A court may also award compensation for any alternative treatment that was needed in the absence of medical negligence. This could include a more conservative surgical procedure or a different course of treatment that could have potentially prevented your injuries.

As the number of malpractice lawsuits increased, a number of states passed legislation that limits the amount of damages that can be awarded in malpractice cases. Limits limit the amount money you can receive from a jury when your claim is deemed excessive or unreasonable.
