When negotiating a settlement in the event of an injury, claimants are entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages are a way to cover the cost of medical bills in the past and into the future including any medications and rehabilitation therapy costs. They also cover the loss of wages resulting from time away from work as a result of the medical negligence.
Non-economic damages address mental distress, as well as loss of quality. Mental anguish includes severe emotional distress, which can lead to post-traumatic disorder or apathy, as well as anger. Loss of enjoyment of life can be caused by the inability to exercise or sleep, or maintain healthy relationships.
