Damages
The monetary compensation a patient receives in a malpractice case is based on the extent of their injury and the amount of money they need to cover medical bills as well as loss of income or other financial losses. In certain instances the plaintiff could also be awarded punitive damages as a way to punish the doctor for their conduct. These are rare, as doctors must have acted in recklessness or intent to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that a person alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached the duty of care by straying from the standard of practice; (3) as a consequence of the doctor's negligence, the victim suffered injury; and (4) the harm is quantifiable in terms a monetary amount. The injured party must also make a claim before the deadline for filing a lawsuit, which is determined by the statute of limitations applicable to them which differs from state to state.
The law recognizes that medical malpractice cases are complex and costly to resolve, particularly when they are based on complicated questions like proximate reasons or predictability. Its aim is to offer victims the justice they need without allowing opportunistic or frivolous lawsuits to slow down courts. It also seeks to reduce costs by insisting that all defendants share the responsibility for the success of a lawsuit (joint and multiple responsibility); limiting the total amount a plaintiff can recover if other defendants lack funds to pay ("damage caps) and prohibiting doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which involves changing their treatment plans due to the risk of malpractice lawsuits.
