Malpractice Compensation
Malpractice compensation typically is used to cover future and past medical expenses. It can also compensate those who have lost income as well as their inability to work.
Non-economic damages are more difficult to determine and include pain and suffering as well as distress, frustration and pain. They are typically calculated using a severity ratio.
To prove malpractice, the plaintiff must show that a doctor owed an obligation to behave professionally; that this obligation was breached and resulted in injury; and that the injury resulted in certain damages.
Damages for pain and suffering
In a medical malpractice lawsuit it is possible for pain and suffering to be difficult to quantify since they are subjective. As opposed to the economic costs of hospital bills and lost wages, which can be easily calculated to the penny, the pain and suffering refers to the individual experiences of pain, distress and anguish that have been caused by a negligent malpractice.
The physical pain associated with malpractice injuries can range from mild to severe. However, the emotional and psychological suffering can be even more serious. This may include anxiety depression, fear, anger, frustration, irritability, loss of enjoyment and other negative impacts to the quality of life of a person which the jury may be able to consider when determining the amount of damages.
Examples of permanent impairments include scarring, disfigurement or loss of legs. These can make it difficult to exercise or maintain healthy relationships and perform everyday tasks. In some cases, an attorney may use expert witnesses to discuss the impact of the injury on the quality of life of the victim.
While it's difficult to determine a precise dollar figure on these damages, a juror will rely on their experience, background and common sense when determining the value. Therefore, it is essential to have a professional and experienced legal team on your side to ensure you are able to claim the full amount.
Damages for Economic Loss
Economic damages are a way to reimburse a person for their financial costs related to a medical malpractice injury. These expenses typically cover past and future medical expenses incurred as a result of the treatment of a malpractice-related injury. These expenses also include lost earnings, if an injury stops a victim from working or reduces the amount of money he or she earns. Documentation, such as medical documents and wage records, can be used to prove these damages but certain elements of economic loss require an expert witness.
A patient who has suffered serious physical injuries as a result of medical malpractice could require intensive long-term care. This could include surgery, medication and physical therapy. The cost of this treatment could run into the millions of dollars over the course.
In some cases, negligence on the part of a medical professional could lead to a permanent disability such as cerebral palsy or parlysis. This could result in costly continuing treatment and a major decrease in the patient's quality.
In some states, there are limits on the amount of damages that victims can be awarded in a medical malpractice lawsuit. These limitations were struck down by several courts because they are considered unconstitutional restrictions on an injured person's rights to a fair legal remedy. New York does not impose damage caps, so the victims can get the entire amount of their losses, both past and future, from an effective malpractice claim.
Damages for non-economic losses
Certain medical malpractice-related injuries are more difficult to assign the value of a dollar, such as pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life. These damages are hard to calculate but can be done by employing an expert financial analysis as well as testimony from witnesses.
Economic losses are also covered by compensation, including future and past medical expenses. This can include hospital fees, in-home health care, medical equipment, and more. Additionally, compensation may provide for lost income in the event that the accident has prevented the victim from working, and also future losses of earnings.
In the calculation of damages, both a jury and judge take into consideration a variety of factors. For example when a medical mistake caused an injury that reduces the quality of life of the victim, a jury and judge may award noneconomic damages for the diminished quality of life. This can include the cost to hire an individual to take on tasks that the injured party is no longer able to complete, such as cleaning, cooking meals or caring for their children.
In some cases doctors' actions could be so negligent or reckless that punitive damages may be appropriate. They are intended to punish the defendant and convey a message to others in the health care sector. The majority of them are cases that are particularly infuriating and involve a grave disregard for the safety of the patient.
