Understanding Your Rights to Medical Malpractice Compensation in New York
Medical malpractice can result in a variety of losses, including expensive medical care, lost income and non-economic damages like suffering and pain. A New York attorney who is competent can assist you in understanding the rights to compensation that you are entitled to.
The first step is to determine if you have suffered injuries due to a medical error. Then you can pursue a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical expenses
The expense of medical treatment to treat injuries is the most obvious. This category of damages has an amount that is set by law of the state, which is outlined in the liability insurance policy of a healthcare provider. Certain states also have injured patient compensation funds to help offset the perceived costs of litigation and to reduce the cost of liability for providers.
Victims are entitled to compensation in addition to medical costs in the event that negligence is found to be a factor. These are known as economic or special damages. These include the cost of medical treatments (past or future) required to treat an injury caused by the negligence as well as any income loss due to being incapable of working.
Damages for suffering and pain are typical in medical malpractice cases. This category of damages can differ widely among claimants and is a subjective matter. It includes any emotional or physical discomfort, and other non-physical effects due to the negligence. For instance, a plaintiff could be compensated for the error of a doctor that caused her to miss a crucial cancer screening appointment.
In some cases punitive damages can be granted. These are meant to punish the doctor for particularly indecent behavior, for example, leaving a sponge inside the body of a patient after surgery.
Suffering and pain
The pain and suffering category is a type of non-economic loss in medical malpractice cases. They are a way to compensate for the physical and emotional trauma suffered by a victim due to the negligent doctor's actions. The symptoms could be mild such as pain or anxiety or they could be more severe such as loss of enjoyment in life depression, embarrassment, and anxiety.
It's difficult to put the value of suffering and pain, therefore jury instructions generally leave the decision to jurors to use their personal judgment of their background, experience, and knowledge in determining what they believe is fair and reasonable. The amounts that are awarded in malpractice law firm lawsuits can vary.
Your medical malpractice attorney can help you prove the extent of your suffering by using evidence that can be used to prove your case. X-rays and photos, as well as home models, videos and diagrams can help a juror understand the extent of your injuries.
If negligence by a doctor led to the death of a victim survivors can seek compensation through the wrongful death suit or statutes. The laws governing wrongful death typically allow the spouse and children to claim the same compensation they would have received if the patient had lived. The amount the victim can collect is usually limited by the state's limits on suffering and pain. It is important to have a seasoned medical malpractice lawyer by your side to get the compensation that you deserve.
Loss of wages
If you are unable to work due to medical error you may be able to recover your lost wages. This amount includes your base pay bonus, commissions and benefits from employment, raises in pay and retirement fund contributions. Your lawyer will review your past pay stubs and calculate your average earnings prior the injury. Then, subtract the lost work from that figure to calculate your total lost earnings. Your attorney can help you determine the loss you will incur in the future income through a current value calculation. This is a complex financial analysis that examines the effects of your injuries on your ability to work in the future, and it's generally performed by a specialist employed by your attorney.
You can also seek non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain due to the negligence. The jury will determine the appropriate amount of compensation for these damages, and it could vary from case to circumstance. Certain states, however, have a limit on these damages, and they've been struck down as unconstitutional in several cases.
Seven-figure settlements usually result in serious permanent injuries or deaths resulting from extreme healthcare negligence. For example, surgical mistakes leading to amputations, obstetric errors leading to infant brain damage and death, and anesthesia errors which cause comas can all result in high-value settlements. Punitive damages, which are intended to punish bad behavior could also be a possibility in certain circumstances.
Future medical treatment and damages
In a medical malpractice case there are two types of damages a plaintiff could pursue: non-economic and economic damages. The first is based on quantifiable losses such as past or future medical expenses. The latter are more difficult to quantify, and includes pain and suffering, as well as loss of enjoyment of life. In a medical malpractice lawsuit, the jury will need to hear testimony from experts in order to assess the kind of losses.
It is fairly simple to prove the cost of medical treatment in the past by providing actual bills sent to the person who was injured by their health medical professionals. The attorney representing the plaintiff will present medical evidence to demonstrate what treatments are likely to be needed in the future, and how much they will cost in the present. The amount of medical treatment required can be affected by the victim's age at the time of the malpractice.
Proving damages for future lost earnings is possible if you can show how the injury has affected the patient's ability to earn and ability to work. This can be supported by expert testimony from a witness or by looking at similar cases in the previous.
Pain and suffering is an umbrella term that encompasses the physical and mental discomfort and stress that patients suffer due to medical malpractice. This kind of damage is typically based on testimony of the victim and witnesses and evidence like photographs or videotapes, as well as written reports.
