Medical Malpractice Compensation
Medical errors are one of the leading causes of injuries and death in the United States. Those who have suffered harm due to a medical professional could be entitled to compensation that is substantial.
Economic damages, also referred to as special damages, are a way to cover a victim's financial losses. These include past and future medical expenses, lost income, and many more.
Economic Damages
Economic damages compensate you for any financial losses associated with your injury. This includes medical services already paid for and future medical care required. You may also be able to get economic damages to compensate for lost wages, if your injuries prevent working.
Non-economic damages are more difficult to quantify and less tangible. These damages may include physical pain and discomfort, a reduction in quality of life, or emotional distress. Your lawyer can help you demonstrate these losses by using testimony from witnesses and expert financial analysts and other evidence, such as medical records and documentation of your injuries.
Stratton and. Swanlond, a case from 1374 that established the foundation of medical malpractice, was a breach of duty between a doctor as well as the patient. It was also the first medical malpractice case to give damages to a victim.
A victim could be entitled to compensation for the duration of their life that cover the length of time after the malpractice was discovered up to the point of death. These damages could include medical expenses and lost income in addition to non-economic damages such as mental distress, 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 the actions of your doctor are particularly bad, such as when they perform unnecessary surgery for profit or for their own sexual pleasure, punitive damages can be awarded.
In addition to the monetary compensation mentioned earlier the court may also give compensation for the cost of any alternative treatment that would be required if not for the medical negligence. This might include a less invasive surgical procedure, or a different course of treatment that could have potentially prevented your injuries.
