Medical Malpractice Compensation
Medical errors are among the most frequent causes of injury and death in the United States. People who have suffered harm from a health care provider may be entitled to a substantial amount of compensation.
Economic damages, also referred to as special damages, cover the financial losses incurred by a victim. They include future and past medical expenses, income loss, and many more.
Economic Damages
Economic damages reimburse you for any financial costs associated with your injury, such as medical expenses that have already been paid for and any future care that is needed. They can also include lost earnings if the injuries keep you from working, and other documented financial losses.
Non-economic losses are more difficult to quantify and less tangible. They could include physical suffering and pain as well as a decrease in your quality of life or your emotional stress. Your lawyer can help demonstrate these losses by using expert financial analysts and witness testimony. Other evidence such as medical records and other documentation can be utilized, as well as medical malpractice lawsuit records.
The earliest documented case of medical malpractice was Stratton V. Swanlond in 1374, that established the foundations of breach of duty between a doctor and a patient. It was also the first medical malpractice case to award damages to the victim.
A victim could be entitled to survival damages that cover the length of time after the malpractice occurred up until death. These damages can include medical costs and lost income, as well as non-economic losses like mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, or disfigurement.
Other damages may be available when a doctor is unable to diagnose your condition or performs unnecessary procedures. If the doctor's actions are particularly severe for example, when they perform unnecessary surgery for profit or for personal sexual pleasure, punitive damages can be awarded.
A court may also award compensation for any alternative treatment required however due to medical negligence. This might have included a more conservative surgical procedure or another course of treatment that could have prevented your injuries.
Medical Caps for Malpractice
As the number of fraudulent malpractice claims grew, many states passed laws imposing limitations on damages in malpractice cases. Limits on damages limit the amount of money you can get from a jury when the claim is deemed excessive or unreasonable.
Most states put caps on both general and special damages. However, some states limit only the amount of non-economic damages you are entitled to compensation for. Regardless of the amount of caps, you'll need to present strong and convincing evidence to support your medical malpractice claim.
