Medical Malpractice Compensation
Medical errors are among the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. People who have suffered harm by a medical professional may be entitled for a substantial amount of compensation.
Economic damages, also called special damages, are used to cover the financial losses incurred by a victim. This includes future and past medical costs loss of income, and other.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are a way to cover any financial expenses incurred due to your injury, like medical care that has already been paid for, as well as future care that is necessary. You can also seek economic damages for lost wages, if your injuries hinder you from working.
Non-economic damages, often called general damages, are less tangible and are harder to quantify in a dollar amount. These damages can include physical pain and discomfort or a decrease in the quality of life, or emotional stress. Your lawyer can help to prove these losses with testimony from witnesses, expert financial analysts, and other evidence, such as medical documents and evidence of your injuries.
Stratton V. Swanlond, a case from 1374 that established the foundation of medical malpractice as a breach of obligation between a physician and the patient. It was also the first case of medical malpractice to decide to award damages to a victim.
A victim could be entitled to compensation for the duration of their life that cover the length of time from the time the incident occurred until the time of the time of death. These damages may include the cost of medical treatment and loss of income and non-economic damages such as mental anguish, disfigurement, or loss of enjoyment living.
Other damages may be available when a doctor is unable to diagnose your condition or performs unnecessary procedures. If your doctor's negligent actions are particularly bad like when they perform unnecessary surgeries for profit or for personal sexual enjoyment, punitive damages might be awarded.
In addition to the financial settlements mentioned above, a court may provide compensation for the cost of any alternative treatment that would have been needed but for the medical negligence. This might have included a less risky surgical procedure or a different course of treatment that could have prevented your injuries.
